ABSTRACT:
A method for transferring a large number of fiber ends of a bundle of light wave guides, especially glass, quartz or plastic fibers, into a large number of specified positions with the aid of an alignment apparatus which includes openings the size of which can be varied in a specified range. The method includes passing the glass, quartz or plastic fiber ends through the openings of the alignment apparatus, whereby the size of the openings are selected such that only one end of the large number of glass, quartz or plastic fiber ends can pass through each opening. The size of the openings is then reduced so that the glass, quartz or plastic fiber ends are moved to the specified positions.
