ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic connector couples multiple pairs of single fiber, fiber optic transmission lines. The connector includes identical sub-assemblies releasably coupled. Each sub-assembly has a plurality of holders to which the ends of the fibers are connected. Each holder has a plug and a receptacle fitted into corresponding elements on an aligned holder so as to position the ends of mating fibers in axial alignment for efficient transmission of light energy therebetween. The holders are mounted in a loose arrangement and an elastomeric pad or cushion suspends mated holders. Excessive coupling forces are transmitted through the housings directly and do not affect the holders and fibers carried thereby.
