Separable fiber optic cable connector

摘要

A separable connector is provided for optically joining one or more pairs of fiber optic cable terminals, each of which pairs is supported within a respective rigid alignment sleeve mounted within the connector in a resilient collar so that the alignment sleeves can be individually longitudinal withdrawn from the collar to allow cleaning of the cable faces; the terminal ends of each pair of cables being maintained in a closely spaced, single air-to-glass optical junction.
