ABSTRACT:
In an optical fiber connector component including a tubular housing and three round rods supported longitudinally side by side within the tubular housing and defining between them an intersticial space for reception of an optical fibre or optical fibres, the tubular housing is of a material having a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than that of the material of the rods. In use, prior to introducing optical fibre into the intersticial space, the tubular housing is heated to cause it to expand radially outwardly to permit radial separation of the rods and introduction of the optical fibre into the intersticial space. The tubular housing is then cooled or permitted to cool to cause the housing to contract radially inwardly to compress the rods inwardly and cause them to grip the optical fiber so that it is aligned axially in the intersticial space.
