ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic splice connector 10 comprises, optical fibers 22 in colinear alignment at complementary inclined optical contact faces 72 of abutting ferrules 64 biased into engagement with each other by corresponding coil springs 74 in axial compression between corresponding ferrules 64 and strain relief bushings 50 that are secured to fibrous tensile force resisting members 24 of corresponding optical cables 12, the ferrules 64 are held in relative rotational positions by a key 48 in aligned keyways 70 in the ferrules 64, and a bipartite body 14 holds the bushings 50 and the ferrules 64 and the springs 74 in compression, and holds the fibers in slackened condition to allow flexure of the fibers in response to tensile forces applied to the cables 12.
