Optical fiber connector and production method thereof

A method for production of an optical fiber connector, the method comprising the following steps:

• providing an optical fiber, which contains at least one individual fiber, and a sheath;
• stripping the sheath on one end of the optical fiber, such that a predefined first length (L1) of at least one end of at least one individual fiber is exposed;
• providing an injection mold that has a first part and a second part, wherein the first part has a first cavity into which the injection molding material is injected, and the second part has a second cavity in which at least an end (E) of the optical fiber is placed;
• securing the end (E) of the optical fiber in the second cavity, wherein a second length (L2) of the at least one exposed end extends into the first cavity;
• injecting the injection molding material into the first cavity to obtain a connector element, wherein the at least one exposed end of the optical fiber is at least partially coated with the injection molding material,
• wherein the first part and second part of the mold are brought to different temperatures.
