ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber faceplate transmits light signals between an optical fiber communications device and optical fibers secured by a fiber optic connector. The optical fiber faceplate includes a plurality of closely spaced optical fiber segments which prevent light signals from diverging as they pass through the faceplate. The diameters of the cores of the optical fiber segments within the faceplate are smaller than the diameters of the optical fibers secured by the fiber optic connector. Therefore, light from optical signals communicated by the optical fibers is received and transmitted through the faceplate via a plurality of optical fiber segments within the faceplate. Consequently, the faceplate does not need to be precisely aligned with either the optical fibers or the optical communications device.
