ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connecting device comprising a housing including a central two-fiber holder and four pressers slidably mounted in the housing. The holder has an alignment groove for receiving, aligning and joining endface-to-endface core end portions of two fibers, and two surfaces on either side of the groove for bearing cladding end portions of the two fibers. Two pressers are pulled by springs to press the core end portions into the alignment groove. Two other pressers are pulled by other springs to press the cladding end portions onto the bearing surfaces. The fiber connection is quickly accomplished without resorting to any disassembling of members constituting the housing.
