Abstract
A connecting device is disclosed for coupling an optical fiber cable to a cylindrical optical mixer. Cylindrical tubular ferrules are provided with watch jewels and adapted to receive either the mixer or optical fibers arranged in an annular array. Flanges and a spacer are used to achieve alignment of the two tubular ferrules and, hence, the mixer and fibers.
