ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an optical fiber connector for use in glass fiber waveguide transmission systems to provide either a permanent splice or a fiber guide connection which can be disengaged. The connector comprises a sheet of elastically deformable material such as a plastic having opposed major plane surfaces. At least one hole is formed in the material which hole has the same shape and dimension as the fiber portions which are to be inserted into opposite ends of the hole and aligned and joined therein. The hole extending through the sheet of material is parallel to one of its major plane surfaces and is positioned to be nearer to this one surface than to the other surface of the material so that when the material is bent along the axial direction of the hole the hole deforms or elongates to permit removal or insertion of fiber ends to be aligned and held securely therein when the deformation is released and the material goes back to its original shape.
