ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connector comprising a first resilient member having elongated grooves in the surface thereof into which fibers to be optically connected are disposed end-to-end. A second resilient member is urged against that portion of the fibers opposite the first member, thereby causing a slight deformation of the second member and the groove forming walls. The substantial equilibrium of forces applied to each pair of fibers by the resilient members causes their axes to become aligned. A longitudinal force applied to each fiber urges the endface thereof into contact with the endface of the fiber that is to be connected thereto.
