Abstract
To adjust an optical fiber radially in a connector element, the fiber is supported in a tube which is mounted near its mating end on a thin diaphragm with radial adjusting screws at the other end of the tube to rock the tube for adjustment purposes. Thus a relatively coarse screw movement gives fine adjustment to enable the fiber end to be accurately aligned with the fiber end of a mating connector element. The two elements are located with respect to each other by flats on the surface of one element which cooperate with a V-groove in an inner surface of the other element.
