ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a multifiber optical cable array connector which includes a central block having a plurality of bores that is made up of a lower chip having v-grooves on its upper surface and an upper chip having v-grooves on its lower surface which is superimposed over the lower chip to form the bores. An optical fiber ribbon cable has its insulation removed and the fibers are inserted through every other bore in the block. A second optical fiber ribbon cable similarly has its insulation removed at one end and is superimposed over the first ribbon cable with its fibers being inserted through the remaining bore. Because of this construction substantial numbers of fibers may be received in this connector.
