ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connector comprises a sleeve and a receptacle. The sleeve has a front cylindrical surface and a rear conical surface formed in coaxial relation with the front cylindrical surface. The receptacle has an inner cylindrical surface and an inner conical surface formed in coaxial relation with the inner cylindrical surface. In coupling state the front cylindrical surface of the sleeve fits in the inner cylindrical surface of the receptacle, and the rear conical surface of the sleeve fits in the inner conical surface of the receptacle. The conical surfaces forbid radial displacements of the sleeve. The cylindrical surfaces determine the locations of the centers.
