An optical fiber terminus is provided in which front and rear connector bodies 15, 22 are provided, each having a bore 16, 35, 36, with a counterbore 17 being formed in the rearward end of said front connector body 15. A sleeve 40 is provided with a tapered surface 44 and slots 50, 51 through it so that one end portion of the sleeve can flex transversely. A taper 46 is formed in the counterbore 17, matching the taper of the sleeve. The sleeve 40 is positioned in the counterbore 17 and an optical fiber 13 is extended through sleeve 40 and the bores 16, 35, 36. The rear conenctor body 20 is advanced a predetermined distance into the counterbore 17, which it engages with a press fit, so that the sleeve 40 is biased forwardly to cause a reaction between the tapered surfaces 40, 46 thereby compressing one end portion of the sleeve 40 inwardly to grip and retain the optical fiber 13.
