A connector for terminating optical fibers. The connector includes first and second housing portions for mating with each other. When the optical fiber is inserted into the first housing portion, a strain is pre-applied to the optical fiber. The second housing portion includes a blade such that when the first and second housing portions mate, the blade cleaves the optical fiber without additional preparation of the fiber, for example, without removal of a portion of the buffer.
