ABSTRACT:
Device for providing the end portions of the fibers of a flat optical fiber ribbon with connectors. It comprises an elongated connector having two adjacent inner surfaces defining a re-entrant orthogonal connector dihedron and two adjacent outer surfaces defining a projecting orthogonal connector dihedron and a third surface formed with at least a longitudinal groove, and a template having a first and a second adjacent surfaces defining a re-entrant orthogonal template dihedron. At least two members transverse to the template bear a first groove for receiving the sheathed part of the optical fiber and a second groove aligned with the first groove for receiving the stripped part of the fiber. The projecting connector dihedron is applied against the re-entrant template dihedron and the fiber is guided in the grooves on each side of its path along the connector groove, whereby it can be bonded to the connector in predefined position.
