<p>a plurality of substantially parallel optical fibers (14) formed into a ribbon, the ribbon extending in a longitudinal direction and having first and second ends; and a termination assembly (15, 15') attached at each of the first and second ends of the ribbon. Each of the termination assemblies (15, 15') includes a body (18, 18') and a ferrule (22, 22'), the body having a key (26, 26') on an upper surface thereof. The ferrule has a polished contact surface (28, 28') that exposes ends of the optical fibers; the contact surface (28, 28') forms an oblique angle relative to a plane normal to axes defined by the fibers. The termination assemblies (15, 15') at the first and second ends of the ribbon (12) either both face slightly upwardly or both face slightly downwardly.</p> |
