ABSTRACT:
A polishing tool is provided for polishing the end faces of optical fibers encapsulated within connectors which terminate the optical fibers. The tool includes a housing which has a forward surface and spaced passageways extending thereinto from the forward surface for receiving a pair of connectors with the end faces of optical fibers, encapsulated within the connectors, exposed at the forward surface to permit the end faces to be polished by moving the housing over a polishing surface. A support member is disposed within the housing and includes through holes for supporting the connectors received in the passageways. A spring is disposed between an upper portion of the housing and the support member for normally biasing the support member and the connectors supported thereby forwardly in the passageways. The passageways are located on opposite sides of a line passing through the spring whereby the singular spring is operatively associated with both connectors and their optical fibers.
