ABSTRACT:
A prior optical fiber connector includes an elongated mandrel of substantially uniformly elliptical cross section that is encompassed by a resiliently deformable housing which, in its relatively undeformed state, can optically interconnect two optical fibers by urging their ends against a straight longitudinal groove in the surface of the mandrel. The interconnection can be made more easily when there is, either integral with or around the housing, an envelope incorporating a pair of second-class levers which, when squeezed together by ones fingers, deform the housing. The extremities of the levers can be formed to permit the connector to be releasably attached to a patch panel or to an optical fiber distribution module.
