- 28 - OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTORS AND METHODS OF MAKING Abstract In order to connect two optical fibers (26- 26), each of two plugs (40-40) each having a passageway (41) in which is received an optical fiber are mounted in a connector body (42). The plugs are destined to be received in a sleeve (75) of a coupler (60) such that their longitudinal axes are coaxial. Alignment of the passageways, at least radially of the longitudinal axes, is accomplished by locating for each plug the intersection of a radial line which extends through the centroid of an opening of the passageway with the periphery of the plug. Each plug is mounted in its connector body such that the intersection is aligned radially with a pin extending from the connector body. The connector bodies are inserted into opposite ends of the coupler sleeve to cause each pin of each connector body to be received in a slot in the coupler. The slots are aligned so that when the connector bodies are inserted into the coupler, the plugs are caused to be inserted into the sleeve such that the centroids of the passageways, and of the optical fibers, are aligned, at least along a plane that originates at and extends radially from the longitudinal axes.
