A light-coupling device comprises a body member including a light-conducting channel extending through the body member, a passage extending through the body member and intersecting the at least one channel, and a plug inter-fitting with the at least one passage. The plug has a stem with a first end and a second end. The second end of the stem has a light-reflecting face and is in a position for deflecting an optical signal and for coupling it into of from the light-conducting channel. The device can also be applied to coupling or interconnecting of light-conducting channels. For example, with a body member that includes at least one pair of light-conducting channels positioned in a parallel manner within the body member, a single passage common to both channels can be provided with a plug member at each end. A light-coupling array comprises a body member through which a plurality of light-conducting channels and a plurality of passages extend, wherein the passages intersect with at least some of the channels. It further comprises a plurality of plugs inter-fitting with the passages, wherein each plug includes a stem having a longitudinal axis and each comprising a lower end and an upper end. The upper end has a light-reflecting face intersecting with the longitudinal axis and being in a position for deflecting an optical signal and for coupling it into or out of one of the light-conducting channels adjacent the light-reflecting face.
