ABSTRACT:
Described is an optical fiber connector in which accurate alignment is achieved by having the fiber enclosed by three parallel inner rods. Two sets of inner rods, and hence two fibers, are aligned by means of a resilient sleeve containing three additional (outer) rods along which the inner rods can glide. In one embodiment the sleeve is a metal tube and the outer rods are affixed to its inner surface, whereas in a second embodiment, adapted for mounting an array of connectors, the sleeve is a rubber-like material into which the outer rods are molded. A plurality of such sleeves are mounted in holes in a rigid support member.
