A fiber to fiber connection comprising a first optical fiber end (26), a second optical fiber end (30), and a connector housing (34). The connector housing (34) has a connection chamber (38), a first fiber inlet passage (42) which communicates with the connection chamber (38) and which snugly but slideably receives the first fiber end (26), and a second fiber inlet passage (46) which communicates with the connection chamber (38) and which slidably receives the second fiber end (30). The fiber to fiber connection (14) further comprises a shuttle (50) slidably received within the connection chamber (38) and movable between a first fiber connecting position and a second position. The shuttle (50) has a fiber receiving end (54), and a connection end (58) housing the second fiber end (30) and snugly but slidably received within the first fiber inlet passage (42) so that the second fiber end (30) faces the first fiber end (26). |
