Abstract: An optical fiber connector is provided having identical connector halves including mating surfaces which are made of a soft metal and the surface configuration is coined or stamped therein by the same die to provide minimum manufacturing tolerance errors between fiber holding rails located in a channel on each surface. Locating holes and projections are likewise located in said mating surfaces so that, when one surface is reversed with respect to the other and mated thereto, the optical fibers placed between the rails and precisely cut with respect to a limit line will mate end to end coaxially with the end surfaces in the same plane.
