Apparatus (11) and a method for assembling an optical fiber (6) in a passage (4) of a connector (1) by applying axial force to the fiber (6) to maintain an optical face (8) of the fiber (6) in abutment with an optical face (9) of an optical device (7) mounted to the connector (1), wherein, the fiber (6) is mounted along a straight passage (15) of the apparatus (11), a pin (30) mounted on a carriage (20) imparts a bend (21) along the length of the fiber (6), and the carriage (20) is displaceable to impart axial force to the fiber (6), and to apply pressure between abutting optical faces (8,9) of the fiber (6) and the optical device (7). |
