An improved optical fiber connector, comprising:
- a pair of female bodies each having a first end and a second end, a cavity defined in said first end and a tubular portion extending from said second end, said tubular portion having a diameter smaller than that of said cavity, and a stepped structure formed at a junction between said cavity and said tubular portion;
- and
- a tube fixedly held between said tubular portions and connecting said female bodies, said tube comprising a middle portion having an outer diameter substantially the same as the diameter of said tubular portion, opposite enlarged ends and a shoulder formed at the junctions between said middle portion and said enlarged ends, wherein said middle portion of said tube is dimensioned so that said shoulders abut said stepped structure after said tube is inserted into said tubular portions of said female bodies.
