Abstract
An apparatus and method for cleaving an optical fiber. The method includes supporting a connector in a fixed axial position along an axis of an optical fiber extending from an end of the connector, and placing an axial tension along the axis of the optical fiber. A fiber engaging member is moved along an arcuate path such that a sharpened blade tip of the fiber engaging member cuts across a cut location of the optical fiber. The axial tension induces crack propagation through the thickness of the optical fiber at the cut location.
