Abstract

An improved, lower cost, optical fiber interconnect device of the type known as a "perfect shuffle" and processes for the preparation thereof. The present invention relates to devices that are smaller in size than prior art devices and that exhibit superior optical properties including lower attenuation loss (lower insertion loss) and to processes which produce such devices.
