Abstract: An automatic optical-fiber cutter has a main lid, an auxiliary lid interlockingly opened and closed by the opening/closing operation of the main lid, and a slider provided with an edged tool. An optical fiber is pressed at two positions by the main lid and the auxiliary lid interlockingly closed by the closing operation of the main lid. At the same time, the slider moves synchronously with the main lid, and the optical fiber is cut by the edged tool. As soon as the auxiliary lid is opened synchronously with the opening operation of the main lid, the slider is returned to an initial position.
