ABSTRACT:
A two-piece tool for circumferentially scoring an optical fiber (11). Retaining member (21) has a substantially flat end surface (26) beyond which a portion (13) of the optical fiber protrudes perpendicularly. The scoring ring holder (28) floatably mounts a scoring ring (30). When the retaining member is inserted into the scoring ring holder, the portion (13) of the optical fiber extends into the scoring ring. A preselected relative orbital motion between the retaining member and scoring ring holder causes the scoring ring to revolve about the optical fiber scoring a line about the fiber circumference.
