A fused uniconically tapered termination (11) for the optical fibers (13) of a star configured optical communication network which may be used as a divider or as a combiner for coupling a light source (12) or a photodetector, respectively, to the fibers (13) of such a network. Such a termination is particularly well suited for use with a biconically tapered coupler to provide parallel inputs or outputs for such a network. |
