Apparatus and method for joining two ends of plastic optical fibers after the ends have been formed, preferably cut at a bias. The ends are pushed together within a tightly fitting quartz tube and their juncture is heated, by a resistance wire filament which surrounds the tube, to melt the ends and form a splice. The quartz tube is split into a top member and a bottom member and the spliced optical fiber is removed from the tube by opening the two tube members.
