摘要

An installation tool for terminating one or more field optical fibers with a fiber optic connector includes a guide member and camming member. The guide member has a slot extending in an axial direction and is configured to receive a portion of the fiber optic connector. The camming member is positioned next to the guide member and is movable between a first position spaced from the slot and a second position axially aligned with the slot. Additionally, the camming member is configured to engage and actuate a cam member of the fiber optic connector by moving from the first position to the second position when the fiber optic connector is received in the slot.
