ABSTRACT:
A tool is used for end-to-end jointing a fiber to another fiber or to an optical connector end-piece by means of a module including a receiving housing enabling a fiber to be inserted at one end at least and wedging action arrangements for fixing the fibers at the bottom of the housing that are operated by pressing them in. The tool carries out the following operations successively and possibly simultaneously for two fibers: partial stripping of each fiber, end cleavage for end-to-end jointing, positioning of each cleaved fiber in the module where it is jointed and crimping of each fiber in a jointing position in the module. These operations are carried out in a cycle commanded by continuous rotation in a particular direction of a rotary drive shaft of the tool after manual fitting of each fiber and the module at particular positions on the tool.
