FIELD INSTALLED OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTOR FOR JACKETED FIBER CABLE AND TERMINATION METHOD
摘要
An optical fiber connector includes a housing configured to mate with a receptacle, a collar body that includes a fiber stub and a mechanical splice device, a backbone to retain the collar body within the housing, and a boot. The backbone includes a cable jacket clamping portion to clamp a cable jacket that surrounds a portion of the terminated optical fiber upon actuation. The boot actuates the cable jacket clamping portion of the backbone upon attachment to the backbone. A method for terminating the optical fiber in the field includes slitting or removing a portion of the cable jacket prior to splicing the optical fiber to the fiber stub. The method also includes utilizing a protective sheath or tube to protect exposed portion of the fiber cable and provide structural integrity to the optical connector.
