ABSTRACT:
A simple mechanical connector for joining plastic coated optical fibers provides means for stripping the plastic from the fibers and for automatically aligning the fiber cores. The connector houses three equidistantly spaced teeth protruding from the inner surface of the connector. Inserting a plastic coated fiber within the connector causes the plastic material to be displaced by the teeth and causes the fiber to become precisely centered within the connector. When the connector contains teeth members at both ends of the connector a pair of optical fibers can become automatically aligned by inserting one of the fibers into each end of the connector.
