Moulded demountable compact multifibre connectors have been constructed which have a rectangular arrangement of precision rods within the plug mouldings to locate the fibres in its interstices and to align pairs of plugs. The samples of 10-fibre connector tested so far have exhibited average insertion loss of 0.37 dB for step-index fibre 60 μm in core diameter. Connectors for an arbitrary number of fibres can be made from the same mould and parts by using this method.
