ABSTRACT:
A tip processing apparatus is equipped with a holder, and a holder fiber holding unit for extending the tip of the jacketed optical fiber comprising at least one optical fiber provided with a jacket, the holder holding the jacketed optical fiber in place. The apparatus also includes a jacket removing unit for removing a desired length of the jacket, leaving the jacket on the tip of the jacketed optical fiber; a cleaning unit for cleaning the optical fiber exposed by the jacket removal carried out in the jacket removing unit; and a cutting unit for performing cut processing thereby to trim the optical fiber cleaned by the cleaning unit. A tip processing method comprises moving a portion of the jacket by a desired length while leaving a portion of the jacket on the tip, and all processing steps of the jacket removing, cleaning, and cutting of the optical fiber are performed on the optical fiber with the jacket left on the tip.
