  • Fiber optic connector
    Patent number: 4076379
    Abstract: A connector assembly which is adapted for use with fiber optic cable is disclosed. Techniques for aligning the corresponding light ways of a multiway cable and for minimizing the loss of light energy across the connector are developed. The connector illustrated includes a spacer disposed between the opposing ends of the corresponding light ways within the connector. The ends of the light ways are accessible for optical cleaning after repeated use to restore efficient light transmissive capabilities to the connector.
