Popis:	We propose and demonstrate a new type of field installable optical connector that enables us to realize physical contact connection without polishing the fiber endface by using a sharpened fiber endface and the compression force of buckled fiber. We confirmed that all the assembled connectors achieved physical contact connection without the fiber endface being polished, and provided good optical performance with a low insertion loss of 0.08 dB and a high return loss of over 49 dB.
