- 26 - TERMINATED OPTICAL FIBER 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 is mounted in a connector body (42). Each optical fiber comprises a core (25) and a cladding (27). 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 fiber cores, 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 the optical fiber core with the periphery of the plug. An orienting pin is mounted in each connector body in intentional radial alignment with the intersection. 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 pins orient and cause the plugs to be inserted into the sleeve such that the centroids of the optical fiber cores are aligned along a plane that originates at and extends radially from the longitudinal axes.
