An optical fiber connector is provided for releasably holding an optical fiber. The connector includes a housing, a channel extending through the housing and at least one collet assembly mounted in the housing. The at least one collet assembly includes a collet configured to move from a first, closed position in which the optical fiber is held in the connector to a second, open position in which the optical fiber is removable from the connector. The collet assembly further includes a bias element configured to bias the coolet to the first position. A method is provided for releasably holding an optical fiber cable in an optical fiber connector. The method includes the steps of applying a pressure to a collet assembly against a biasing force of a bias element to slidably move a collet of the collet assembly from a closed position to an open position, inserting an optical fiber cable into the collet assembly and releasing the pressure on the coolet assembly such that the collet moves to the closed position under the force of the bias element to hold the optical fiber cable in the connector. |
