A fiber optic cable connector device capable of coupling fiber optic cables for use in installing a fiber optic cable network including a cap member having an for receiving and securing a fiber optic cable end portion, a sleeve member having a retaining device to receive, engage and secure the cap member containing a fiber optic cable end portion, and a coupling member having a retaining device to receive, engage and secure the assembled fiber optic cable end portion, sleeve and cap members. An adapter, having fiber conduit slidably mounted within a support member housing, provides an interface for coupling multiple single-fiber carrying fiber optic cables and dual fiber carrying fiber optic cables. A method of terminating fiber optic ends with little or no polishing permits viewing of the illuminated fiber end-face through a microscope while adjusting the position in a the ferrule. The method enables employment of a commercial cleaving machines to cleave the fiber and avoids significant material removal from the fiber when mounted in the ferrule. A novel cable termination device is also included.
