An optical fiber terminating assembly has an outer body ( ), a first member ( ) locatable in the outer body ( ) and which carries a protruding length of optical fiber ( ) which locates an alignment structure ( ) and a housing ( ) locatable in alignment with the first member ( ). The housing ( ) has an access opening for receiving an optical fiber ( ) to be terminated so that the fiber can be located in the alignment structure in abutment with the optical fiber length ( ). The housing has a compartment ( ) which receives a heat responsive adhesive element ( ), a saddle ( ) and a resistor ( ). When a current is passed through the resistor, the heat generated is transmitted by the saddle to the adhesive which melts and flows around the optical fiber ( ) to secure it in position in abutment with the optical fiber length ( ).
