Abstract
An optical fiber connector of the watch bearing jewel type. To prevent "growing out" of a fiber end to which the connector is terminated, a thin protective window is placed against the bearing jewel and supported by a fiber stub mounted in a second watch bearing jewel. The fiber and the fiber stub are optically coupled via the window.
