The fiber 117 can be further pulled from the front end until the back end of the fiber 117 is positioned within the central bore of the ferrule by a predetermined amount. 226The fiber is then bonded in the ferrule by the injected adhesive. 227The excess length of fiber protruding from the ferrule end face 162 is removed. 228The exposed fiber end face (located at about the ferrule end face) is then polished flush with the ferrule end face 162 using a conventional polishing technique. 229Thus, ferrule 114 can include a stub fiber having a polished end face at the ferrule end face and a prepared second end located within the ferrule at or about fiber joint location 119 (see Fig. 3). 230
