A Terminator by Tapering Fiber Optic (herein after named TermTaper.TM.) made directly using a single mode optical fiber to reduce the back reflection in an installed optical fiber link, which occurs when a guided incident optical signal encounters an index of refraction change at a glass-air transition. The single mode fiber has at one end, a first length of exposed fiber which is obtained by way of stripping the jacket from that portion of fiber. The bare fiber is positioned in a suitable heating set in order to enable a biconical taper to be formed on that portion of bare fiber. The bare fiber with the first formed biconical taper is repositioned in the heating set in order to enable additional biconical tapers to be formed on the same portion of bare fiber. The concatenated biconical tapers contribute to obtain a return loss of better than 55 dB for any guided optical signal that propagates through the TermTaper. The TermTaper is assembled in any type of suitable mounting device.
