ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connector optically connects a first optical fiber and a second optical fiber. The optical fiber connector includes a plug the retains and selectively aligns the first optical fiber, a receptacle that retains and selectively aligns the second optical fiber, and means for forcing the first optical fiber against the second optical fiber. The plug of the optical fiber connector is inserted into the receptacle in order to contact the first optical fiber to the second optical fiber. The force created at the point of contact of the fibers by the means for forcing is in excess of the bending stress of the optical fibers.
