ABSTRACT:
A splice for axially aligning a pair of optical fibers is disclosed, comprising a bored receptacle, and a pair of tubular retention sleeves positioned within the receptacle bore. Each sleeve receives a respective optical fiber therethrough, and structurally provides a plurality of outward tine projections which engage the receptacle to inhibit withdrawal of the sleeve from the receptacle bore. Each sleeve further provides inward tine projections which engage the cladding layer of the optical fiber to inhibit withdrawal of the fiber from the tubular sleeve.
