Abstract
A fiber optic connector is disclosed in which a ring having a thin film stretched over its face is mounted in the connector between the mating faces of the optical fibers being coupled. Because of the thinness of the film, the film may have an index of refraction similar to, but not necessarily matching, that of the fibers. The ring may be removed from the connector to allow replacement of the film thereon.
