<p>The invention provides an array ferrule (10) for use in an optical array connector wherein a main body is profiled to have a fiber receiving cavity (22) extending from a mating face to a rear end between a pair of side surfaces. At least one pin slot (18) is precisely located with respect to the fiber receiving cavity and extends inward from a respective side surface. A plurality of channel plates (30) are formed from the same tool to have a plurality of fiber receiving channels (36) in at least one major surface thereof. Fibers (40) are each positioned within respective fiber receiving channels of the channel plates and located within the fiber receiving cavity to form the array ferrule.</p> |
