ABSTRACT:
A connector system for multiple fiber optical cables aligns multiple optical fibers of one coaxial cable with corresponding multiple optical fibers of another coaxial cable or tool head. This is accomplished by forming off-axis fiber holes in the flat connector face of an end terminator for one of the multiple fiber cables. Similar off-axis fiber holes, in the same pattern as in the first cable end terminator, are formed in a second cable end terminator. Alignment flats are located adjacent the faces of each of the end terminators; and a coupling sleeve, having a slot in each of its ends for fitting over the alignment flats, is used to align the fiber holes in each of the end terminators with one another when the coupling sleeve is secured in place on the end terminators.
