Fiber optic connector assembly with slidable spacer

摘要

A fiber optic connector assembly comprising a tubular coupling device having an end portion disposed for encircling an end portion of a fiber optic cable, and a slidable apertured spacer axially disposed within the coupling device. The spacer has a central aperture disposed for alignment with a polished end surface of a filamentary light conductor in the cable, and has an annular surface encircling the aperture for abutting an end surface of an opaque sheath encircling the light conductor.
