ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for coupling optical fiber ends mounted in respective connectors includes an elongated hollow housing, a first clamping member of a prismatic configuration extending over the entire length of the housing and having a longitudinally extending V-shaped groove for partially receiving the connectors, and a pair of second clamping members each overlying one of the connectors in registry with the V-shaped groove of the first clamping member. A plurality of pressing bodies, subdivided by a separating pin in two groups, is received in a longitudinally extending recess of the housing in juxtaposition with the second clamping members. A force exerted by an end cap threadedly mounted at the respective end of the housing is transmitted by the pressing bodies to the respective second clamping members to press the same into clamping engagement with the respective optical fiber connectors received in the V-shaped groove of the first clamping member.
