摘要 |
The present invention generally is directed to an optical interconnection sub-assembly, which includes a housing, a longitudinal bore formed through the housing, a tapered ring press-fitted into a first end of the longitudinal bore, a split sleeve ring press-fitted into the tapered ring, a fiber stop press-fitted into the split sleeve ring, and one or more bushings threaded into a second end of the longitudinal bore. The interconnection generally operates to secure a fiber in one end and communicate a signal received from the fiber to a device attached thereto. Further, the interconnection generally does not require any epoxy or other chemical affixation methods, as press fitting and shrink fitting methods are employed, which substantially reduces the assembly time.
