Abstract
An optical fiber connection base for receiving an optical fiber positioned and centered in a ferrule having a tubular axial extension with a passage into which the fiber is introduced and immobilized with its front end coplaner with the front end of the tubular extension. The base has a unitary tubular body with a front support. An interior projection having a convex bearing surface extends rearwardly into the bore of the body from the rear face of the front support. The front support and projection have an axial opening to receive the tubular extension of a ferrule inserted into the body from the rear of the bore. An annular conical wall of the ferrule seats on the covex bearing surface of the body along a circular line of contact at a predetermined distance from the front face of the front support, so that the front end of the ferrule is centered and coplaner with the front face of the support.
