A permanent assembly has in a housing (12), two mated, tuned ferrules (16, 18) end to end in a sleeve (24), the ferrules are biased against one another by a spring member (30) to ensure contact of the ferrule faces (32, 34). The ferrules (16, 18) are attached to optical fibers (26, 28), one being a single mode and one a multi-mode, and strength members (36, 38) associated with the optical fibers (26, 28) are secured to the assembly. A heat shrink cover (52) is secured over the assembly. <IMAGE> |
