RETENTION BODIES FOR FIBER OPTIC CABLE ASSEMBLIES

摘要

Retention bodies (60) for securing a fiber optic cable thereto for optical connectorization are disclosed along with fiber optic cable assemblies. The fiber optic cable (30) is inserted into a passage of the retention body and secured to the same using a bonding agent and/or a mechanical element. The rear end opening of the passage is configured for inserting and securing an end portion of the fiber optic cable having at least one strength component and a portion of a cable jacket. Additionally, the retention body has a buckling chamber (91) disposed within the retention body passage for accommodating movement of optical fiber. The retention body is latched to a sub-plug assembly via latching fingers or integrated therewith.
