Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TERMINATING A FIBER-OPTIC CABLE WITHOUT ADHESIVE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1991001013
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An adhesiveless optical fiber termination employs an outer element (14, 76, 90) having a through passage (18, 80, 86) that receives an optical fiber (60, 72, 84). A tubular inner element (12, 78, 92) fits over the cable and telescopically seats in the passage of the outer element. An elastomeric compressive system (16, 74, 94) is seated within the passage substantially encircling the optical fiber and is radially inwardly deformed into secure engagement with the optical fiber therein in response to compressive engagement between the outer element and the inner element.
