ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention is directed generally to connectors, and more particularly to a connector for fiber optic cable segments. Prior art connectors for fiber optic systems have not been completely satisfactory, particularly where frequent connects and disconnects must be made under adverse environmental conditions, or where multiple fiber optic circuits must be connected in a single connector, because of the difficulty of maintaining an accurate consistent alignment between the ends of coupled cable segments under such conditions. The present invention is directed to a connector which provides more accurate and consistent alignment of the terminal ends of fiber optic cable bundle segments under these conditions. The present connector comprises a mating plug and receptacle each including insert members having aligned passageways wherein the terminal ends of the fiber optic cable segments are disposed. An alignment sleeve within the passage- ways fixed to one insert member and slidable received by the other receives the terminal ends at respective ends thereof to maintain the terminal ends in axial, transverse and angular alignment.
