Optical fiber cable fixing mechanism in plug

摘要

An optical fiber cable comprising an optical fiber, an inner insulator, tension resistant fibers and an outer insulator is fixed to a plug comprising a male plug member and a female plug member which are helically meshed with each other by driving the male plug member into the female plug member and provided with respectively abutting surfaces. The tension resistant fibers are divided into a plurality of bundles, which are extended outwardly from between the inner and outer insulators. In this state, the male plug member is screwed into the female plug member, thereby firmly clamping the outwardly extended bundles of tension resistant fibers between the abutting surfaces of the male and female plug members.
