Abstract:
An optical fiber preparation device (11) is disclosed having a body (12) with at least one abrasive portion (15) and at least one adhesive portion 19. The abrasive portion (15) includes a protrusion (29) defining a polishing portion (31). A method for polishing and cleaning an end of an optical fiber using the optical fiber preparation device includes the steps of inserting the end of the optical fiber into the abrasive portion of the optical fiber preparation device and rotating the optical fiber preparation device about the center of the abrasive portion. A cover member (23) is removed from the optical fiber preparation device, exposing the adhesive portion, and the end of the optical fiber is then pressed against the adhesive portion.
