A fiber optic cable connector for coupling together a pair of optical fibers having a pair of fixtures, each of the fixtures securing therein a respective optical fiber and having a magnification lens optically aligned with the end of the optical fiber. The lenses and fibers are so positioned relative to each other so as to focus a magnified or enlarged image of the end of each of the fibers to a predetermined position. A fastening means is utilized to removably attach the fixtures together in such a manner that the positions of the enlarged images of the fibers overlap thereby achieving excellent coupling of the adjacent fiber optic ends.
