Common Ends
The common end is used to bind all the fiber tails together in a single connection, which can then be plugged into a standard sized fitting on a light source.
Available in various sizes, common ends are different for glass and polymer fiber, with those for glass being larger.
Adaptors are also available to allow multiple small common ends to be plugged together into one light source.

1.6in (40mm) Common End Adaptor for Mini Common Ends
The 1.6in (40mm) common end adaptor allows smaller common ends to be located in a standard sized fitting. Smaller common ends are avilable in sizes between 0.5in (12mm) & 0.7in (16mm). The drawing shows some typical uses.
