Abstract
A method of splicing two optical fiber cables uses a glass multi-ferrule having a series of parallel axis internal capillary channels opening onto respective end surfaces of the multi-ferrule and two exterior reference surfaces. An adhesive that is polymerized by ultraviolet light is introduced into these channels. The multi-ferrule is cut into three sections. The splicing is achieved by jointing the outermost two sections.
