Abstract
The connection component comprises a plurality of optical fibers united at a common end in such a manner that their claddings are mutually tangential and the axes of their cores occupy a configuration that corresponds to the configuration of the axes of a multi-core with which said common end is to be connected, said fibers being free from one another at their opposite ends. The method brings the fibers together by depositing a drop of liquid thereon.
