Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical uniform spacing assembly for the purpose of lining up plural multi-pitch optical fibers into a linear optical fiber array of a uniform pitch. SOLUTION: The spacing assembly includes an organizer body having a vertically extending slot. A part of the slot has a width wide enough for only one optical fiber to pass, and has a depth just deep enough for plural multi-pitch optical fibers to be lined up in a linear array of a uniform pitch. The assembly is small-sized and easy to be assembled. In addition, the spacing assembly connects to the front end of the organizer, including a transfer assembly that sets in auxiliary array for the multi-pitch optical fiber array in advance of the arraying inside the organizer body. Moreover, an optical device such as a multi-fiber optical connector is connected to the rear end of the organizer body. The multi-fiber connector properly includes, for example, an MT connector, an MA connector or an LMC connector.
