ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an optical fiber connector that comprises two right circular glass tubular cylinders, means for maintaining the cylinders in substantially fixed relative radial relation, and means for maintaining the cylinders in substantially fixed relative axial relation. The fiber ends that are to be connected are maintained in the bores of the respective glass cylinders by UV-curable adhesive means. Connectors according to the invention can have very low insertion loss, are easily field-installed, can be easily and inexpensively manufactured, and are useful for single mode as well as for multimode fiber applications.
