ABSTRACT:
An improved optical fiber coupler for use with eccentrically mounted optical fibers is disclosed in which a V-groove coupler block is utilized for receiving and locating the mating pair of connectors. The connectors are circularly cylindrical and each lies in an end of a V-groove recess. The V-groove at one end of the coupler block is offset relative to the V-groove at the other end by the incorporation of a thin shim on one of the faces of the V-groove. The thickness of the shim determines the amount of offset.
