ABSTRACT:
A precisely aligned optical fiber switch assembly. A base member has a vee groove for supporting a fixed optical fiber and a second optical fiber in optical alignment with the fixed fiber. The groove contains sections of different dimensions that receive and align sheathed portions of the fibers and groove sections that receive and align unsheathed portions of the fibers. First aligning means on the base member longitudinally position the fixed and second fibers in the groove. Covering means mate with the base member for covering at least part of the sheathed portions of the fibers. Aligning means position the covering means precisely with respect to the base member.
