Abstract
Simple and inexpensive optical fibre splicing apparatus comprises a splicing station comprising a fibre support table and a pair of electrodes; high voltage circuitry for striking an arc; clamp assemblies at opposite ends of the table for holding end parts of aligned fibres on the table with their end faces spaced a predetermined distance apart between the electrodes, a part of at least one of the clamp assemblies being constrained to move towards and away from the other; mechanical means for controlling movement of the part of the movable clamp assembly; and a firing button for actuating the high voltage circuitry and mechanical control means. Preferably, a low voltage power source is housed in a casing separately formed with respect to the casing of the splicing station and is connected to the high voltage circuitry of the splicing station by a flexible cable.
