ABSTRACT: A connector for axially aligning a pair of optical waveguides is disclosed comprising a receptacle (62), a pair of plug members (32, 33) for positioning in the receptacle bore (64), and a pair of retention sleeves (10) for positioning within respective plug members. Each plug member is adapted to receive a respective optical waveguide cable (74) therein, and provides a forward alignment nose portion (38) having a profiled opening receiving a forward end of the waveguide. The opening is defined by opposed V-grooves (52, 54), with the V-grooves being separated by a transverse slot (56) which extends through the alignment nose portion. The nose portion further includes external protrusion members (58, 60) for engaging the receptacle (62), and causing the opposed V-grooves to wedge against the waveguide extending there- between. Each retention sleeve (10) is secured onto the optical cable (2, 4, 74) and within the bore (24) of a receptacle (14) or a respective plug member (32, 33), for inhibiting rearward withdrawal of the optical cable from the receptacle (14) or plug member (32, 33).
