Abstract:
A method and apparatus for coupling fiber bundles. A plurality of fibers are secured within a channel of a fastener system to place the plurality of fibers in a packing configuration within the channel. The fastener system and the plurality of fibers secured by the fastener system are cut through to create a first fiber bundle and a second fiber bundle. The first fiber bundle is coupled with the second fiber bundle.
