ABSTRACT:
A splice for holding the ends of optical fibers in end to end relationship includes a pair of sections having mating planar surfaces in engagement. One of the surfaces has an axially aligned groove facing the other surface to form an opening. The fiber receiving member comprises an elastomeric material of sufficient resilience to permit the opening to expandably receive optical fibers dimensioned larger than the opening. A sleeve is mounted about the receiving member for holding the sections in assembled relationship.
