ABSTRACT:
A dual cantilever beam member for aligning optical fiber cables is disclosed. A first optical fiber cable is received through and attached to one end of the beam member while a second optical fiber cable is received through and attached to the other end of the beam member causing the ends of the optical fiber cables to be in close proximity to one another. The dual cantilever construction of the beam member allows relative displacement of the one optical fiber cable with respect to the other optical fiber cable along only one co-ordinate axis and prevents relative displacement of the optical fiber cables along the other co-ordinate axes. A chord shaped portion on the end of each optical fiber cable is blocked to define the transmission area between the cable ends and to increase displacement sensitivity of the device.
