A fiber array faceplate for receiving, precisely positioning and immobilizing bare optical fiber. The faceplate includes a plate arrangement of at least two mutually parallel plates each having an array of fixed apertures. At least one of the plates is movable in translational motion such that the at least two plates collectively define an array of adjustable-size apertures that can open wide enough to readily receive bare optical fiber and then decrease in size to immobilize the received optical fiber.</PTEXT>
