<p>A duplex fiber optic splice (1) has a fiber-receiving element (3), two clamping elements (14) covering opposite faces (5) of the fiber-receiving element (3), and a spring element (37). A bearing key (60, 61) may be inserted into a bearing channel (11) in the fiber-receiving element (3) and rotated resulting in resilient disengagement of each of said clamping elements (14) from said fiber-receiving element face (5). The resilient disengagement of the clamping elements (14) are independent of each other. The splice assembly may be used alone or in conjunction with an array ferrule (50), pre-terminated with a fiber stub, and a housing (35) to provide an adhesiveless field terminable connector.</p> |
