Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides a precise optical fiber cable connector (10) for aligning and connecting ends of a pair of cables. The connector (10) has a fiber alignment block (12) having a fiber receiving surface (14) and a connector engagement surface (18). First and second openings (44,46) are provided in the connector engagement surface (18). An alignment ball (62) is provided and is retained in the first opening (44). The alignment ball (62) is for aligning the connector (10) with another like connector, and specifically, for aligning optical fibers carried on the connector alignment assemblies.
