A fiber optic connector transmits light and includes a body member and at least one strand of optical transmitting material. The body member is formed in a generally U-shaped configuration to define a first linear segment, a second linear segment and a looped segment that interconnects the first and second linear segments. The first and second linear segments extend generally parallel with one another and are disposed apart from one another at a spaced distance. The at least one strand of optical transmitting material is carried by the body member to conform to the generally U-shaped configuration and has a minimum bend radius for transmitting light. The looped segment has an inner radius curvature greater than one half of the spaced distance and is at least equal to or greater than the minimum bend radius for transmitting light. Another embodiment includes fiber optic ribbon fabric as the body member which is formed into a serpentine configuration to define an array of linear segments and a plurality of looped segments. This embodiment selectively and optically connects together a plurality of modules arranged in a juxtaposed relationship.
