ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber termination is provided by a short length of fiber (41) formed with a coaxial metal coating and with optical end faces. One end (43) of the short coated length (42) is of reduced diameter to facilitate matching with a fiber (45) to be terminated to which the one end (43) is spliced. The splice comprises a resiliently deformable alignment body (49) having a fiber alignment passageway (50) and disposed between support bushings (44, 51) having fiber passageways and encased within a crimping sleeve (48). The coated fiber length (42) projects externally of the splice assembly and the fiber (45) to be terminated is abutted with the one end (43) of the coated length within the alignment passageway (50). The crimping sleeve (48) is radially compressed to deform the alignment body (49) about the abutted ends to effect alignment, the support bushings (44, 51) constraining the alignment body (49) against axial extrusion and being secured during the crimping process by indentations (60, 61). The projecting coated portion (42) may be releasably connected with a complementary member in a resilient alignment in plug-and-socket manner.
