Abstract
A field appliable connector for splicing a pair of optical waveguides is disclosed. Three stepped profiled, parallel rods are adapted having larger diametered end portions, with smaller diametered segments extending therebetween. Radially compressive means is disclosed for preliminarily biasing the smaller diametered segments inwardly, whereby an interstitial passageway defined between the rods is made to assume a biconical profile for accommodating guided entry of two waveguides therein. Subsequently, further radial crimping of the smaller diameter rod segments proximate the abutment of the waveguide ends establishes a peripheral clamp upon the waveguides and effectuates their colinear axial alignment.
