FIBER OPTIC ALIGNMENT SLEEVE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A fiber optic connector for providing a removable light signal transfer connection between the ends of at least one pair of fiber optic cables. The fiber optic cable consists of a jacket and at least one, and usually a plurality of glass fiber conducting elements within said jacket. The fiber optic cable ends to be connected are each encased within an elongated hollow terminating pin. The optical fibers are constrained within the terminating pin into a compact shape having the cross-sectional outline of a hexagon or other polygon. The guide sleeve is provided which includes axial grooves which engage the corners of the polygon face at the terminal end of the terminating pin to effect twist mode or rotational alignment. The guide sleeve is of small cross-section in the vicinity of the point of abutment of the opposing fiber bundles but flares toward the insertion ends.
