ABSTRACT:
A connector plug for axially aligning an optical fiber in a receptacle bore is disclosed, comprising an elongate body having an axial passageway receiving the fiber therein, and a forward alignment nose portion having a profiled opening receiving a forward end of the fiber. The opening is defined by opposed V-grooves, with the V-grooves being separated by a transverse slot extending through the alignment nose portion. The nose portion further comprises external protrusion means for engaging the receptacle, and causing the opposed V-grooves to wedge against the fiber extending therebetween, for fiber centering.
