ABSTRACT:
Elements for making butt splices in optical fibers are simplified when formed of a deformable material and formed to define three surfaces for contacting the fibers to be spliced. The surfaces are formed between two legs of an element such that when the legs are closed onto the fibers the surfaces center the fibers and afford a resilient spring compression reserve force on the aligned fibers to maintain them in contact and the fibers are depressed into the surfaces slightly to center the fiber cores.
