CONNECTOR FOR FIBER OPTIC MEMBER

摘要

A connector for a fiber optic member comprises a ferrule member in which is positioned an insert surrounding a section of the fiber optic member adjacent an exposed end of the fiber optic member, the exposed end extending along a front bore of the ferrule member. A crimping ring on the ferrule member is controllably crimped thereon thereby moving arcuate sections of the insert into mechanical engagement with the fiber optic member with no or minimum deformation to the fiber optic member and securing the fiber optic member in the ferrule member.
