<p>An elongated hollow termination pin assembly for mechanically terminating a fibre bundle of a fibre optics cable, includes an elongated hollow pin with coaxially slidable outer sleeve and an O-ring of resilient material mounted in a groove about the pin immediately adjacent to the end of the sleeve towards the terminal end of the cable. A backward facing shoulder is provided about the circumference of the sleeve so that a retaining clip within the connector shell can restrain backward axial movement of the sleeve. The pin can slide within the sleeve, however, and is resiliently constrained by the O-ring to provide a positive abutment force at the interface of the fibre bundles, dampen contact vibrations, and absorb axial tolerances.</p> |
