HOLDING EQUIPMENT FOR OPTICAL FIBER

In the conventional process of the handling of the relatively short optical fiber, the optical fiber is wound into a coreless loop and is tied up by using spiral tubes or is fixed by adhesive tape, to attach ferule to the terminal of the fiber, to form antireflective layer, to deliver. However, due to hardness and weakness against bending, the optical fiber have to be corrected the holding according to work respectively, in addition, there are problem such that the optical fiber is unwound and snapped. The present invention solved such problem by providing compact holding equipment for optical fiber comprising at least one optical fiber holding area which comprises core of reel, side walls connected with the core of reel and elastic projections formed on at least one of the side wall, made of, for example, fluororubber.
