Abstract

A component for making a connection to a fiber with n cores disposed in a square geometry comprises n fibers assembled together at a common end and independent at their other end. The n fibers are assembled together at their common end in a geometry such that their cores are disposed in the same geometry as the cores of the multicore fiber. They are attached at their common end to a member enabling manipulation and/or positioning of the component.
