Abstract: An optical fiber connector includes two matching ferrule connectors that each have a ferrule, an optical fiber array and a ferrule cap. The ferrule connectors match because they each have a cut surface that includes a cut end of the ferrule, the ferrule cap and the optical fiber array. Each ferrule connector is formed by attaching an optical fiber array to a ferrule, attaching a ferrule cap to the optical fiber array and the ferrule to form a subassembly. The subassembly of the ferrule, the optical fiber array and the ferrule cap are cut to form two matching ferrule connectors that each have a matching cut surface. This process can be done on a large scale to form a plurality of ferrule connectors and any ferrule connector's cut surface will precisely match with the cut surface of another ferrule connector. Preferably, the cutting is accomplished according to a method of this invention with high pressure water jets.
