Abstract
In an optical fiber connector for joining the ends of pairs of light conducting fibers which includes a mounting plate provided with guide grooves receiving the fiber ends and a pressure plate structure disposed on top of the mounting plate and hinged and latched thereto, guide grooves are formed only in the mounting plate and have a depth greater than the fiber radius and the pressure plate structure has elastic clamping members formed therefrom so as to project toward the mounting plate for resilient engagement with the respective optical fiber ends and the clamping members engaging the ends of each pair of fibers are spaced such that an open area is provided at the fiber joints to provide for visibility of and access to the joints, the mounting plate and pressure plate structure having at their ends clamping structures for engaging and axially fixing the position of the fibers where the connector is closed.
