Zusammenfassung:	A ferrule holder for a tool for processing an end face of an optical fiber held by a ferrule of an optical fiber connector is disclosed. The ferrule holder includes first and second confronting faceplates, with the first face plate operably arranged with the tool. The first and second face plates are configured to magnetically engage while being kinematically aligned. The second face place is configured to receive the optical fiber connector and the ferrule therein so that the end face of the optical fiber resides immediately adjacent an aperture of the first face plate. Light from a light source in the tool is directed through the aperture to process the fiber end. The second face plate can be disengaged from the first face plate and replaced with another second face plate configured to accommodate a ferrule having a different size.
