ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a connector for optical fibers and components, and a method of manufacture, which provides close alignment. Each fiber is disposed within a plug comprising two blocks placed with their major surfaces in contact. Each block has an array of grooves formed in a major surface for accommodating the fibers. A pair of deeper grooves is also formed in each major surface at opposite edges of each block and at the same time as the array of grooves to form beveled edge surfaces. Guiding rods are disposed against the beveled surfaces so that the rods are rectilinear with the fibers.
