<p>Cooled optical connector or housing (10) for alignment and coupling of bundled fibers (14) of an optic cable. Coolant in a liquid or gaseous form is passed through a chamber (36) in which a bundled fiber optic cable (14) and nut portion of a standard optical connector (10) is contained. Coolant in either form moves through the cooled optical connector (10) absorbing thermal energy and cooling the interstitial and exposed fibers (16a-16n) and areas and the standard optical connector (10) itself.</p> |
