Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a device (100) to cleave an optical fiber (50) is provided. The device includes a base (110) and a cover (130) that is rotatably connected to the base. The base (100) has a work surface and a mandrel (120) disposed in the base and extending above the work surface. An optical fiber (50) can be bent over a radiused surface of the mandrel (120) and tensioned prior to cleaving. A shuttle (140) is disposed in the cover (130) over the mandrel (120), wherein the shuttle includes a flexible abrasive material that is configured to contact the optical fiber and create a flaw on a top surface of the optical fiber to initiate a crack in the optical fiber.
