ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connector includes first and second optical fiber contacts each of which have an end face thereof which forms a small angle with a plane which is orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of optical fibers being aligned. The small angle is chosen such that substantially all of any reflected signal at the optical fiber interface will not be transmitted back to a source generating optical signals for the optical fibers so as to reduce interference at the optical fiber source. A material of a body of the optical fiber contacts is made of a material harder than that of the optical fibers being connected so as to substantially reduce an amount of skill and attention required in grinding an end face of the optical fiber after it is disposed within a bore of the optical fiber contact body so as to result in a craft friendly installation.
