Abstract
The present invention concerns a multi-fiber optical connection endpiece, an optical fiber connector using such an endpiece, as well as an apparatus for mounting fibers in the said endpiece. This connector comprises a reference plane of the connection and two cylindrical measuring rods substantially perpendicular to this plane. Each endpiece comprises an endpiece reference plane of the endpiece bearing on the connection reference plane and two V-shaped channel grooves on its rear face from where issue fibers situated at a precise coordinate with respect to the endpiece reference plane. The endpieces are aligned when the V-shaped grooves abut on either side of the measuring rods.
