Abstract
A connector assembly for connecting two optical-fiber ribbons, each of which involves at least one optical fiber, is disclosed. The connector assembly includes a pair of connectors each of which is provided with a contact portion protruding from a leading end thereof and a plurality of through-holes into each of which the optical fiber is fitted, an alignment member provided with a central hole and a case having two pair of clamping members. The connectors are connected through the alignment member in such a way that the contact portions are, from both outsides to inside, fitted into the central hole to come in a face-to-face contact with each other. The connectors and the alignment member are inserted in the case and the opposite clamping members urge the connectors toward each other, thereby securely holding the connectors connected in position.
