Optical fiber connector and optical fiber assembling method

An optical fiber assembling method comprising:

• providing an optical fiber connector, the optical fiber connector comprising:
• a first surface and a second surface at opposite sides thereof, and a third surface connected between the first surface and the second surface;
• a fixing recess extending from the second surface towards the first surface and being open at the third surface, the fixing recess comprising a first inner surface and a second inner surface, the first inner surface being generally parallel to the third surface, the second inner surface being parallel to the first surface, and the first inner surface defining a plurality of receiving grooves;
• a plurality of receiving holes extending from the second inner surface to the first surface, the receiving holes being aligned and communicated with the receiving grooves, respectively;
• and
• two projections formed on the first surface, and extending a same distance along a direction perpendicular to the first surface;
• putting a plurality of optical fibers into the receiving grooves, distal ends of the optical fibers extending through the receiving holes and protruding out from the first surface to points aligned with or beyond distal ends of the projections as measured along the direction perpendicular to the first surface;
• and
• cutting the distal end of one or more of the optical fibers to align the distal ends of all the optical fibers with the two projections.
