ABSTRACT:
A device to facilitate the connection of a plurality of light waveguides to a connector for a plurality of light waveguides characterized by a pair of spaced comb systems having teeth members spaced apart for receiving the waveguides and positioning them in centering grooves of a connector element. The comb systems are arranged with the spaces of one system being aligned with the spaces of the other system and aligned with the grooves of the connector element. Preferably, the spaces of one system are matched to the diameter of stripped ends of the waveguide while the other system has spaces which are matched to the diameter of the cladded waveguide. Preferably, the device for holding the connector is on an interchangeable plate and the device includes means for positioning the interchangeable plate after positioning of the waveguides to enable curing an adhesive holding the waveguides in the connector.
