Optical waveguide connector

摘要

A connector for optical fibers including in each connector section a shell containing a ferrule having an opening receiving a plurality of optical fibers positioned in abutting relationship in predetermined locations, one of the connector sections including a rotatable member coupled to the other connector section for selectively rotationally adjusting the positions of the mating connector sections so as to optimize alignment of individual glass fibers in the two connector sections. The optical fibers of each connector section are assembled in the ferrule and shell before being finished to present a collective flat perpendicular end surface at a predetermined location.
