ABSTRACT:
An aperture in a hull is sealed by a fiber optic plug system that comprises a coherent array of optical fibers that are fused to form the mechanical and structural equivalent of a thick glass plate. Identical terminal blocks are located on either side of the plug. The blocks comprise a plurality of fiber optic channels supported by a matrix. At the end of each block closest to the plug, channels are arrayed in a tightly packed pattern to reduce the size of the aperture in the hull. The other end of the blocks are expanded to allow each channel to be easily accessed via discrete fiber optic cables.
