Crimp and cleave assembly of an optical connector.

摘要

An optical connector comprises an alignment ferrule (11) receiving a plunger (38) and receiving an insert (35) between the plunger (38) and a constriction (32), the plunger (38) being constructed to receive an optical fiber (3) and a buffer (4) covering the optical fiber (3) and the plunger (38) and the insert (35) being constructed for movement forwardly to compact the insert (35) in the constriction (32) and to apply compression concentrically on the optical fiber (3). <IMAGE>
