Referring to FIGS. 7 to 9 , the cut portion 20 may be formed on one side of the main body 11 of the housing 10. The cutting unit 20 is a place to evenly cut the coupled optical fiber by inserting the stripped optical fiber into the connector, and includes the carrier 500, the cutting member 510, the rack gear 520, the first gear 530, and the first gear 530. It may include 2 gears 540 and a fourth rotation drive device 550.
상기 캐리어(500)는 상기 랙기어(520) 상에 결합되어 상기 랙기어(520)의 직선 왕복운동을 따라 함께 움직일 수 있다. 또한, 상기 캐리어(500)는 상기 하우징(10)에 구비된 슬라이드 가이드를 따라 슬라이드 되며 이동할 수도 있다.The carrier 500 is coupled to the rack gear 520 and can move together along the linear reciprocating motion of the rack gear 520.

You can. Since the cutting member 510 is fixed to the carrier 500, as the carrier 500 moves in a straight line, the cutting member 510 is fixed to the carrier 500, so that the optical fiber is cut from the cutting member 510. The cutting area is always constant, so repeated use may reduce the cutting force of the blade in that area. Therefore, in order to maintain cutting force, the cutting member 510 can be rotated by a small angle on the carrier 500. Through this, all cutting blades formed along the circumference of the end of the cutting member 510 can be utilized uniformly.

The connector fixing part 563 may be formed with a locking protrusion that can be fixed by engaging with grooves formed on one side and the other side of the connector body part. The connector body part is fixed and coupled to the connector fixing part 563 to minimize the flow of the optical fiber while it is cut at the cutting part 20.
