FIBER OPTIC CONNECTOR FOR HIGH DENSITY APPLICATIONS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING FIBER OPTIC CONNECTORS ABSTRACT The present invention relates to fiber optic connectors and, more particularly, to a fiber optic connector for optically interconnecting two high density sets of optical fibers and a method of manufacturing fiber optic connectors. While prior art fiber optic connectors are available, they are generally limited to connectors for a small number of communication channels. Recently, there has been a growing interest in and recogni- tion of the need for, developing a suitable fiber optic connector for optically interconnecting two high density sets of optical fibers, particularly for single fiber cables, with low loss and minimum cross-talk characteristics. The connector of this invention satisfies this need. The connector includes a pair of connector members each having a rear end and a forward, mating end. It also includes means associated with the forward, mating end of each of the connector members for terminating one high density set of optical fibers, each of the terminating members including means for disposing the optical fibers of one high density set in a predetermined pattern. The connector further includes means for securing the connector members together with the forward, mating ends thereof adjacent. With these features of construction, the connector is well suited for optically aligning two high density sets of optical fibers.
