| 摘要 |
A method of making a fiber optic cable termination comprises the steps of clamping an optical fiber between two spaced-apart clamps, heating the optical fiber, moving at least one of the clamps toward the other clamp to bend a first portion of the optical fiber into an S-shaped bend, wherein the S-shaped bend includes two or more bends, each having a radius of curvature of less than the diameter of the optical fiber. The step of heating the optical fiber can include the step of applying heat to the optical fiber before, during and after the step of moving at least one of the clamps toward the other clamp to bend the optical fiber or the clamps can be separated to form a tapered end on the optical fiber. A fiber optic cable termination comprising an optical fiber formed into a S-shaped bend, and/or a tapered portion is also disclosed.
