Abstract
A multichannel separable fiber optic connector includes two-part splice fixtures which are retained in the center body of the connector. A keying arrangement between the splice fixture halves and the center body insure that the fixture halves are always mated together in the same angular relationship, and a common sleeve in the center body aligns the fixture halves along a common surface. The optic fibers and fiber splices are protected by removable backshells which are environmentally sealed to the center body and to the cable jacket.
