[0041] According to the communications device provided in this embodiment, at least one optical fiber stripping apparatus in the foregoing embodiments is disposed inside the communications device; and in the optical fiber stripping apparatus: a pin hole is disposed on one side of a connecting part, a spring pin is disposed on a base, a hose clamp is disposed on one end of a first surface of the connecting part, and the hose clamp is configured to fasten an optical cable; a first fastening part is disposed in the middle of the first surface of the connecting part, and the first fastening part is configured to fasten a strength member of the optical cable after the optical cable is stripped; a second fastening part is disposed on another end of the first surface of the connecting part, the second fastening part is configured to fasten at least one of the fiber protection tube, and the at least one of the fiber protection tube is configured to protect a pigtail; a second surface of the connecting part is in contact with the base, at least one hook is disposed on the second surface of the connecting part, and the at least one hook is configured to buckle a hook slot of the base; and a first surface of the base is in contact with the second surface of the connecting part, and the hook slot corresponding to the at least one hook is disposed on the first surface of the base, where when the at least one hook buckles the hook slot of the base, a dowel pin of the spring pin springs up, and the dowel pin fits in the pin hole at the one side of the connecting part to fasten positions of the connecting part and the base, and when the dowel pin is pressed down, the connecting part can be disassembled from the base, which simplifies a process of mounting and disassembling the optical fiber stripping apparatus and improves efficiency in mounting and disassembling the optical fiber stripping apparatus.
[0042] Persons of ordinary skill in the art may understand that all or some of the steps of the method embodiments may be implemented by a program instructing relevant hardware. The program may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. When the program runs, the steps of the method embodiments are performed. The foregoing storage medium includes any medium that can store program code, such as a ROM, a RAM, a magnetic disk, or an optical disc.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the foregoing embodiments are merely intended for describing the technical solutions of the present disclosure, but not for limiting the present disclosure. Although the present disclosure is described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, persons of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they may still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent replacements to some or all technical features thereof, without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0044] While this invention has been described with reference to illustrative embodiments, this description is not intended to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications and combinations of the illustrative embodiments, as well as other embodiments of the invention, will be apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reference to the description. It is therefore intended that the appended claims encompass any such modifications or embodiments.
