A device for connecting optical components of a fiber optic probe and a jumper in a Surface Plasmon Resonator (SPR) has two high-pressure-liquid-chromatography (HPLC) polyetheretherketone (PEEK) connectors, one containing the optical fibers from a probe and the other containing optical fibers which link to a detector and a light source. A method of joining a probe's distal end to a jumper, with at least two fibers or a multimode fiber connected to a light source and to a detection apparatus, has the steps of covering the distal end of the probe with a plastic sleeve, placing the sleeved distal end into a PEEK connector, trimming the distal end of the probe to be even with the edge of the PEEK connection, and connecting the PEEK connector with the jumper.
