Fiber optic cable end fixture and fiber optic cable end fixing method

摘要

A fiber optic cable fixture 1 has a joint member 3, a swaging member 4, and a fastening member 5. The joint member 3 has a cylindrical shape in which a through hole 10 is formed and includes a joint section 11 joined to another member, a male screw 12, and a cylindrical section 13 that is smaller in diameter than the male screw 12 and that is covered with a jacket 7 and tension fibers. The swaging member 4 is fitted to the cylindrical section 13 while covered with the jacket 7. A female screw 16 is formed at one end of an inner peripheral surface of the fastening member 5. A tapered surface 17 is formed on another end of the inner peripheral surface of the fastening member 5.
