Four fibre optic cables (F1-F4) are free at one end, and fixed at the other end. The fixed end has the fibre optic centres (I1-I4) forming a precision square of 44 microns spacing. The outer optical sleeves (21-24) are tangential to each and have a common outer diameter of 106 microns. To effect connection, the fixed fibres are placed in a holding clamp of the same dimension as the outer sleeves, and the cables are cut to length. The cables are glued together, then the outers stripped off with Hydrofluoric acid to form the connections. |
