ABSTRACT:
An optical waveguide connector is disclosed for coupling optical waveguides in coincident axial alignment. The connector comprises two intermateable connector bodies each provided with three rods in radial cooperation to define an elongate passageway therebetween. Two of the three rods are provided with diameters larger than the diameter of the third rod to make the sectional dimension of the passageway oversized with respect to the diameter of the waveguide inserted therein. Two of the three rods are further adapted to project forward from a connector body in a specified staggered arrangement with the rod projections of one connector body interfitting with the rod projections of a complimentary connector body to optically couple waveguides extending through the connector bodies.
