Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for setting up an optical fiber connector including the optical fiber connector and a barrel assembly arranged within a housing. SOLUTION: A barrel assembly 31 is formed of a deformable material and includes a barrel main body and a barrel having a barrel extending part 24 which extends from the end of the barrel main body. A ferrule in the internal part of which a preliminarily polished fiber stub is arranged is supported by the end of the opposite side of the barrel main body. An insert is arranged within the barrel, and the insert is deformable and it is arranged and constituted so as to receive at least one fiber. The cap 20 of the extending part meshes with one part of the housing, and the barrel assembly 31 is attached to the inside of the housing. The housing includes at least one opening 14 arranged in the side part in order to access the barrel assembly 31.
