APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING OPTICAL FIBRES IN A FERRULE

摘要

The device for mounting optical fibers within an attachment terminal comprises a base having a terminal-positioning V-groove for placing a terminal in a reference position and a V-groove for positioning the optical fibers. A calibrated spacer member is placed at the bottom of the fiber-positioning groove, a bearing member having a V-shaped cross-section being placed above the spacer member in order to maintain the optical fibers in position. The calibrated spacer member defines a first and a second lateral V-groove, one optical fiber being placed within each lateral V-groove. The bearing member comes into mechanical contact with the sides of the fiber-positioning groove and with the optical fibers but does not come into contact with the calibrated spacer member.
