A connector using an multi-fiber ferrule, such as the MT ferrule or similar ferrule, that can be plugged into and received by an optical receptacle. Multiple alignment features help align and mate the connector to another multi-fiber object. The connector has a guide prong or forward extension beneath which is mounted the ferrule. The prong provides a reference surface that functions as a precise pre-alignment mechanism for the ferrule. Also, the prong has a groove that mates with a corresponding rail of the receptacle when the connector is plugged into the receptacle ensuring that the connector is properly seated within the receptacle. Further, the ferrule has apertures that align with and receive guide pins of the lightguide means or active device.

De multiples caractéristiques d'alignement aident à aligner et à accoupler le connecteur avec un autre objet multifibres. Le connecteur comporte une broche guide ou extension frontale sous laquelle est fixée la ferrule. La broche présente une surface de référence qui constitue un mécanisme de pré-alignement précis pour la ferrule. En outre, la broche comporte une rainure qui s'adapte à un rail de la prise lorsque le connecteur est bien enfiché. En outre, la ferrule a des ouvertures alignées sur des chevilles-guides du guide optique ou du dispositif actif et destinées à recevoir celles-ci.
