Abstract
An optical fiber array unit of an optical connector includes an opposing pair of grooved plates holding at least three rows of optical fibers between them, with at least some of the optical fibers in each of the at least three rows touching two optical fibers of an adjacent one of the at least three rows. Each grooved plate of the opposing pair has an array of parallel fiber-holding grooves. In some implementations, a groove pitch of the array may be such that the cores of the optical fibers are located at nodes of a square lattice.
