ABSTRACT:
A hand-held, manually operative tool is designed for severing single filat, fiber optic cable. The exertion of a squeeze-like pressure on the handles of the tool cause the fiber optic cable to be gripped firmly and positioned on an anvil member where it may be scored by a sharpened hard element such as a diamond point, for example, at a selectively determined point along the axis of the fiber optic cable. Further actuation of the tool causes the gripping members to be pivoted away from each other thus parting the fiber optic cable at the selectively determined point. The coacting members of the tool are spring loaded for return to their normal unactuated state and the anvil member is preferably a curved surface so as to retain the fiber optic cable in a desired disposition during the scoring operation.
