<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved, reversibly terminable fiber stub connector assembly that can be readily and positively terminated in the field using simple termination tools. <P>SOLUTION: This allows repositioning or replacement of fiber optic cable field fibers if termination is not acceptable in performance. The tool may be a hand-held tool, or used in conjunction with a connector support structure to provide simplified and expeditious field termination of fiber optic cables. The cam tool can include a through hole that enables connection of a patchcord to the stub fiber of the connector during or shortly after termination without removal of the termination tool. Accordingly, field testing of the connection can be made at the site of termination. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
