The present invention is an apparatus and method for assembling a multifiber interconnection circuit where the circuit includes at least one elongated member disposed between a first cover member and a second cover member. The apparatus includes a template, a receiving member, and a transfer member. The template has a first end and a second end and a means for routing an elongated member, such as an optical fiber, from the first end of the template to the second end of the template. The receiving member is arranged and configured to receive the optical fiber engaged by the template. The transfer member is configured to support the receiving member for reception of the optical fiber. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, an alignment guide aligns and orients the template with the transfer member. The present invention can also be viewed as a method for assembling a multifiber interconnection circuit by passing a fiber from the template in the configuration of the passage disposed therein onto a receiving member where the fiber can become fixed.
