ABSTRACT:
An optical fibre cable switch is provided in which opposed cable end faces are precisely aligned coaxially while permitting standard optical fibre cable bushings to be used. An alignment member is first positioned within the central opening of the bushings. The aligned bushings are then cemented or glued to the switch housing while being held in alignment by the alignment member. The alignment member is then removed so that standard cable terminating ferrules may be inserted into the aligned bushings.
