Abstract of the Disclosure A connector for use with a flat ribbon cable con- taining a plurality of optical fibers supported in a flexible matrix. The connector includes a substantially flat housing member having a rear opening corresponding in size and shape to a flat cable to be received. The opening has associated therewith means for anchoring the cable. Passageways through the housing are provided for the individual fibers to be received and anchored within fiber retaining members such that the fiber ends are accessible at the front of the housing to be coupled to fibers within a mated connector. The fiber retaining members are in turn adapted to be received into an abutting relationship within an alignment means which maintains the mated fibers in axial alignment when the connectors are mated. The housing also has associated therewith a latching means on both sides of the flat housing adapted to corres- ponding members of the mated connector to align the respective members and to maintain the abutting relationship when the respective connectors are mated.
