ABSTRACT:
An optical connector (2) includes housing halves (4A) and (4B) having Y-shaped contours (6A, 6B, 8A, 8B) in the abutting faces of the housing halves (4A, 4B). A Y-shaped member (30) is inserted into the housing halves and sandwiched between the two housing halves. An optically transparent gel (20) is inserted into the housing adjacent to the end faces of the Y-piece, such that upon insertion of the optical fibers into the openings created by the Y-shaped contours, the unfinished fiber ends are in optical connection with the gel (20) and split into separate signals.
