ABSTRACT:
An improved fiber optic connector for supporting therebetween an array of optical fibers, the connector comprising first and second support members, each having on a first surface thereof a parallel array of grooves and at least one side landing section. The side landing section of the support member is substantially planar and has a substantially irregular surface thereon for enhancement of bonding between the support members. The grooves of the first and second support members are adapted to contain therebetween the array of optical fibers. The irregular surfaces of the side landing sections of the first and second support members are juxtaposed to substantially overlap each other when the first and second support members are placed in mating relationship around the array of optical fibers. The irregular surfaces of the side landings are joined together around the array of optical fibers with an adhesive epoxy.
