Abstract:
Optical fiber connecting devices and methods of connecting first and second optical fibers are described. The exemplary devices have a housing composed of an upper and lower housing portions, a mechanical element disposed in a cavity of the lower housing portion, the mechanical element configured to axially align and connect the bare glass portions of the first and second optical fibers; and an actuation mechanism to open and close the splice element a plurality of times, and allows the first and second optical fibers to be positioned, secured and actuated in the mechanical element at the same or different times.

Claim (Index 15):
An optical fiber connecting device module for interconnecting bare glass portions of a plurality of optical fibers, comprising:\n a plurality of mechanical elements arranged parallel to one another in a side-by-side arrangement; an plurality of actuation mechanisms that allows for the mechanical element to be opened and closed a plurality of times, and allows for the first and second optical fibers to be positioned, secured and actuated in the mechanical element at the same or different times, each of the actuation mechanisms associated with one of the plurality of the mechanical elements; and a module housing comprising at least one upper housing portion and at least one lower housing portion, wherein the plurality of actuation mechanisms and the plurality of mechanical elements are disposed at least partially within the module housing at least one the lower housing portion is mated to the at least one upper housing portion.
