ABSTRACT:
The specification describes a fiber lightguide connector for interconnecting large arrays of lightwave fibers. Linear arrays of lightwave fibers, for example those in so-called ribbon cables, are effectively interconnected using known v-groove connector assemblies. According to the invention two or more such v-groove connector assemblies are stacked to increase the fiber capacity of a connector assembly. Attempts to stack known v-groove connector plates have encountered problems with aligning the v-groove arrays on opposite sides of the internal or intermediate plate of the stack. An alignment technique is described for assuring precise alignment between linear arrays of v-grooves on opposite sides of the interior plates of stacked linear array connectors.
