ABSTRACT:
A bundle (12) of optical fibers (13) is fixed in a matrix array by apertures in a guiding plate (14) and a securing plate (15). The apertures (18) in the guiding plate are larger than those in the securing plate and the securing plate apertures (17) are funnel-shaped to aid in insertion of the fibers. Each row of optical fibers may be inserted simultaneously by mounting the row on a uniquely designed vacuum holder (26).
