Abstract
A fixture is for forming a fiber optic array that defines a plurality of discrete fibers extending from a spaced-apart arrangement to a consolidated arrangement wherein the fibers are layered next to each other for a further ribbonizing process. The fixture includes a pair of contact blades that are configured to slide along a direction transverse to the longitudinal axes of the fibers for consolidating the fibers.
