ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connector assembly having a metal alignment sleeve for slidably receiving pin bushings of optical fiber termini to axially align the same in abutting engagement with each other to provide for good light transmission. The alignment sleeve is triangular in shape and slidably receives the pin bushings with a slight interference fit so that the sides of the sleeve are bowed slightly outwardly so that they exert a radially inwardly directed force against the bushings at three equidistant circumferential locations.
