ABSTRACT:
A multiway fiber-optic connector is disclosed having two axially connectable support members (6, 7) by which the end faces of the respective optical waveguides are held together, several axial grooves in which the ends of the optical waveguides are received so as to be in alignment, and a guide member (8) into which the two support members (6, 7) are inserted and in which they are guided along two sidewalls of a prism-like interior space. The end of each optical waveguide is mounted in a holding device (42, 43) contained in a recess (48) of the respective support member (6, 7). This recess (48) has an axial guide edge (49) for the holding device (42, 43). The exact positions of the optical waveguides are determined by the distances between the guide edge and two bearing surfaces (50, 51) of the support member (6, 7).
