Abstract
The method of manufacturing a multiferrule for optical fibers, the method consisting in fiber drawing a preform of silica that includes a plurality of mutually parallel channels, the method being characterized by the fact that said preform is made from a rod (1) of silica having a plurality of longitudinal grooves (3) uniformly distributed about an axis (2) and closed by at least one piece of silica (4) for defining said plurality of channels.
