AB  - This Engineering and Laboratory Note describes a simple, fast, cost-effective, 
      and practical splicing technique for poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) plastic 
      optical fibers. We believe this technique can be useful for home networks, 
      laboratory research, and educational uses. It employs a widely available, 
      low-cost transparent adhesive combined with a suitable alignment sleeve. The 
      fiber tips did not need to be cleaned or polished, and the polyethylene jacket 
      did not need to be removed. The alignment between the cleaved fibers was 
      performed by means of the jacket. Low insertion losses were measured for the main 
      PMMA-based fiber types.
