A process for making interchangeable connectors (1, 2) for cables consisting of ribbon-joined optical fibres (3, 4), involves the manufacture, by mechanical working, of a punch (10) provided with several parallel ridges (12, 13) of dihedral form, symmetrically disposed relative to a middle plane passing through a longitudinal axis (a) of the punch, the mechanical working including at least a grinding step for the parallel ridges (12, 13) in which corresponding ridges are worked in succession by rotating the punch (10) about its longitudinal axis (a); several plates (5) of metallic material having respective grooves (8, 6) corresponding to the the punch ridges (12, 13) are then pressed by plastic deformation; the fiber ends of an optical fiber ribbon (3, 4) are next clamped between two plates (5), at least one of which is manufactured by means of the punch (10), and fastened in place by an adhesive material; afterwards the outlet surface of the fibres (3, 4) is ground and at least an alignment plug (9) is introduced into a corresponding hole defined by at least a groove (8) of a grooved plate (5). The invention also relates to a punch (10) made following the described process and a connector (1, 2) for ribbon-joined optical fibres (3,4) obtained by the same process. |
