Abstract:
Fiber connecting devices ( 100 ) are described that include a mechanical element ( 160 ) that may be opened and closed a plurality of times using an actuation mechanism ( 150, 150 ′), where the mechanism ( 150, 150 ′) allows for securing of the glass portions ( 56, 56 ′) of two optical fibers ( 50, 50 ′) at the same or different times, and allows for connection of the optical fibers ( 50, 50 ′). Methods of connecting two optical fibers ( 50, 50 ′) using such a device ( 100 ) are also described.

Claim (Index 35):
The device of  claim 24 , wherein each of the plurality of the actuation mechanism is an actuation cap disposed over at least a portion of each of the plurality of first mechanical elements which actuates at least the portion of the first mechanical element by pushing the actuation cap down, thereby securing the bare glass portion of one of the first and second optical fibers in the optical fiber connecting device.
