ABSTRACT:
A splice member for splicing ends of optical fibers is provided with clips to restrict torsional stress from being applied to the ends of the cables held in the splice element. A tool is used to secure the splicing member onto the cables and it operates to sequentially actuate the splicing element to grip and align the fiber ends and actuates the clamps onto the fiber to restrict the torsional stress on the fiber ends.
