44887 CAN 5A Abstract of the Disclosure A reusable mechanical connector for an optical fiber has an elongated mount of substantially uniform elliptical cross section and a straight longitudinal groove extending the full length of the mount. The groove has a uniformly shallow central portion and uniformly deep outer portions. A deformable housing surrounds the mount. When the housing is undeformed while bare ends of two abutting optical fibers are nesting in said shallow central portion and adjacent buffers of the fibers are nesting in said deep portions, the housing pinches both the bare ends and buffers against the mount simultaneously, thus optically interconnecting the fibers. The fibers can be released simply by squeezing the deformable housing.
