ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber splicing member can hold optical fiber buffer coatings stably in a simple structure as compared with conventional art and enables use of an existing splicing tool. There are provided a joint element110, a jacket120, buffer retainers131and a cap140. By setting and pressing the cap to the jacket, it becomes possible to splice bare fibers of optical fibers190with each other by the joint element and to press the buffer coatings192by the buffer retainers. Assembling the splicing member is thus facilitated while the existing optical fiber splicing tool is utilizable as it is. The buffer coatings can be held stably because the holding is achieved through the pressing.
