Abstract

An optical fiber connector includes a longitudinally extending ferrule having fusion access means defined therein such that an optical fiber stub and a second optical fiber can be fused in the field during installation of the optical fiber connector. In one embodiment, the optical connector includes a longitudinally extending ferrule, a crimp body and a single fiber cable wherein the crimp body is adapted to be attached, by way of crimping, to one end of the ferrule such that the single fiber cable is thereby secured to the optical fiber connector.
