ABSTRACT:
A connector for a single optical fiber comprises two half-connectors. Each half-connector comprises three rods for positioning the respective fiber. In the rear half of each half-connector these rods are cylindrical and maintained in position by a retaining ring. A channel for one of the fibers is defined between them. In the front half of each half-connector the rods are machined to form two flats, one on each side of the area of contact with the fiber. These machined portions of the rods are surrounded by a positioning ring. The respective assemblies of machined rods in the two half-connectors are engagable with one another plug-and-socket fashion to effect final alignment of the two fibers, the positioning rings of the two half-connectors at this time each surrounding the six interpenetrating machined rods.
