ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic splice includes two cylindrical ferrules of different diameters and having bores parallel to, but offset from, the major axes of the ferrules. The ferrules are inserted into a deformable housing where they rest in a V-groove. When external pressure is applied to the housing it is deformed in a predetermined manner, allowing the ferrules to rotate and when the pressure is removed, the ferrules are held in place.
