Abstract

A connector for use in effecting optical signal transmissive connections between the ends of optical fibers is provided employing at least three surfaces defining a fiber-receiving channel. The walls defining the channel surfaces are resiliently movable whereby application of compressive forces to the walls results in shrinkage of the interior channel defined thereby. The channel walls may thus align fiber ends disposed therein along a longitudinal axis.
