An optical connector ferrule comprising a ferrule base and a cylindrical tip. The ferrule base has a planar end portion extending transverse to the longitudinal axis of the ferrule, and the cylindrical tip has an outside diameter which is less than the outside dimension of the planar end portion of the ferrule base. A first planar end portion of the cylindrical tip extends in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, and a second end portion thereof extends at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis. The surface of the second end portion has a hemispherical shape. The cylindrical tip receives an optical fiber having an end which has a hemispherical shape, and the hemispherical shaped end of the optical fiber is continuous with the hemispherical surface of the second end portion of the cylindrical tip.
