CONNECTOR FOR FIBER OPTIC MEMBER

摘要

A connector for a fiber optic member (10) comprises a ferrule member (20) in which is positioned an insert (24) having rods (25) surrounding a section of an exposed end of the fiber optic member (10), the exposed end extending along a front bore (40, 42) of the ferrule member (20). A crimping ferrule (26) on the ferrule member (20) is controllably crimped thereon thereby moving the rods (25) into engagement with the fiber optic member (10) with no or minimum deformation to the fiber optic member (10) and securing the fiber optic member (10) in the ferrule member (20).
