An optical fiber connection jig which is small in size, lightweight and
excellent in portability, simple in structure, can be produced at a low
cost, and enables an optical fiber-connecting operation at the field to
be carried out easily and positively. The optical fiber connection jig
includes a jig body having wedge pieces which are fitted respectively
into wedge insertion slits in a splice member by a grasping operation for
a pair of left and right grasp frames opposed to each other with the
splice member disposed therebetween, thereby forcibly expanding an
optical fiber holding groove, and a fiber insertion guide which is
mounted on the jig body, and guides a coated optical fiber generally onto
a center axis of the optical fiber holding groove by a coated fiber guide
groove extending in a direction of the center axis Y1 of the optical
fiber holding groove.
