ABSTRACT:
A heremaphroditic connector for coupling a pair of single optical fibers is disclosed. The connector comprises a pair of connector members each containing at least one single optical fiber terminated by a termination pin. The pin includes a metal eyelet crimped about the optical fiber in three places providing three, spaced, curved indentations which centrally position the fiber in the pin. When the connector members are mated, the mating termination pins are positioned so that the indentations therein are generally aligned. A cam or spring device is forced into the indentations in the mating termination pins to accurately laterally align the pins and, hence, the optical fibers therein.
