Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001061813
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A fiber optic cable connector device capable of coupling fiber optic cables for use in installing a fiber optic cable network including a cap member (16) having an end for receiving and securing a fiber optic cable end portion (10), a sleeve member (14) having a retaining device (31) to receive, engage and secure the cap member (16) containing a fiber optic cable end portion, and a coupling member (40) having a retaining device (42) to receive, engage and secure the assembled fiber optic cable end portion, sleeve and cap members. An adapter (310), having fiber conduit slidably mounted within a support member housing, provides an interface for coupling multiple single-fiber carrying fiber optic cables and dual fiber optic cables. A method of terminating fiber optic ends with little or no polishing incorporates viewing the illuminated fiber end-face through a microscope.
