ABSTRACT:
Light distributing coupler means are provided for use in an optic fiber transmission system having a first, second, third and fourth optical fibers. The distributing means is arranged to couple light signals between a first fiber and a co-axially aligned, spaced second fiber and a laterally offset third fiber. The distributing means is an elongated, cylindrical, light transmissive member whose cross-sectional area and shape is approximately equal to the combined cross-sectional area and shape of the second and third fibers. The coupler is arranged to be disposed within a guide element, with the first and fourth fibers abutting one end of the coupler and with the second and third fibers abutting the other end thereof.
