ABSTRACT:
An improved molded optical fiber connector is achieved using an insert (111) disposed about the optical fiber. During molding, filler material (112) pushes the insert along the optical fiber (106) until it abuts a mold surface (110) comprising a portion of the connector mating end. This sliding action reduces any bends in the fiber and controls the position and angle of the fiber relative to the mating end. Use of the insert is suitable for the molding of low-loss monomode or multimode optical fiber connectors.
