ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connector includes fiber end aligning jaws which have pyramid shaped entrances which are keyed to pyramid shaped collets for keeping the jaws in an expanding attitude to allow for easy fiber insertion into the jaws. Subsequent to fiber insertion, a fiber contact is locked to the connector so as to simultaneously release its corresponding collet an amount sufficient so that the jaws are urged into aligning contact with the fiber.
