The present invention provides a multi fiber optical ferrule (10), a tool (41) for forming the ferrule, and a method of making the ferrule. The multi fiber optical ferrule is formed of two ferrule halves (12,14) which are either molded or cast as imprecise blanks which are machined using a broach (42) in order to precisely cut inner surfaces (27) thereof for receiving an array of fibers. The inner surfaces of a pair of ferrule halves are cut simultaneously in order to assure accuracy in the fiber receiving (28) and pin receiving channels (26). The halves are joined together with a fiber array placed therebetween to form the ferrule.

L'invention concerne une capsule de contact optique à fibres multiples, un outil de formation de cette capsule de contact et un procédé de fabrication de cette même capsule de contact. La capsule de contact optique à fibres multiples est formée de deux demi-capsules de contact qui peuvent être moulées ou formées comme des formes imprécises qui seront usinées par une broche afin de découper précisément les surfaces internes de ces formes pour recevoir un groupe de fibres. Les surfaces internes d'une paire de demi-capsules de contact sont découpées simultanément afin d'assurer la précision de réception des fibres et des canaux de réception des broches. Les deux parties de capsule sont assemblées par un groupe de fibres placé entre les deux parties afin de former la capsule de contact.
