ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a connector (10) for connecting optic fibers (12, 13). The connector has a longitudinally extending body (14). The body has a first end and a second end. The body has a pass-conduit (20) extending from the first end to the second end. The body is divided into a plurality of fingers (22, 26) formed by slots (28) that extend longitudinally at each of the first and second ends and many be circumferentially offset from each other by any angel.
