Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An optical fiber quick disconnect mechanism comprised of left and right separable portions is set forth. One portion is ideally anchored to a pressure isolating bulkhead at a drilled passage which is provided with threads partly along its length; a fixed portion of the quick disconnect mechanism can be anchored there. This enables division of an optical fiber into left and right portions which provide an optical path therethrough. The left and right optical portions are supported by alignment capillaries and the detachable portion of the equipment includes a threaded body which joins to the fixed portion.
