Method and apparatus for installing fiber optic cables

摘要

A new and improved apparatus and method for use in installing fiber optic cable, which utilizes a novel connector-coupling nut assembly, is disclosed herein. The apparatus largely comprises an elongated connector body with means disposed about the body's circumference for receiving and retaining a coupling nut which has a similar internal configuration for mating with the elongated connector body. When received by the connector body, the novel coupling nut is held in a securely captive position along the elongated connector body by suitable retaining means configured about the exterior surface of the connector body and the interior surface of the coupling nut, which means interact with each other.
