Device for reinforcing optical fiber fusion splice and fusion splicer equipped therewith

摘要

A reinforcing device (20) for reinforcing a fusion spliced part of optical fibers is provided with: a main body unit (22); a heater (24) provided in the main body unit (22) for heating a thermal contracting tube covering the fusion spliced part; and a pair of clamp units (26A, 26B) provided on both sides of the heater (24) each for holding an optical fiber or optical connector. At least one clamp unit (26B) of the pair of clamp units (26A, 26B) has a slide unit (50) attached slidably to an accommodating unit (32B), and the height of a mounting surface on which the optical fiber or optical connector is mounted in the accommodating unit (32B) can be changed by sliding the slide unit (50) between a first position and a second position.
