ABSTRACT:
A hermaphrodite optical fiber connector includes a housing containing a plurality of inner rods and a plurality of outer rods. The inner rods are held in tangential contact with each other forming an aperture for receiving a fiber. An end of the fiber held in the aperture and ends of the inner rods terminate in a planar surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the fiber. The outer rods are secured between the inner rods and the housing and extend past the planar surface, protecting the end of the fiber from damage.
