ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for terminating optical fiber cables is disclosed which includes a fiber alignment and clamping device. The clamping device consists of a unitary body having an entrance portion for aligning a plurality of fibers in either a linear or circular parallel array. The body additionally has projecting fingers that extend on either side of a desired conductor path to form coacting pairs which may be flexed together to retain the optical fiber in a fixed axial relationship relative to its path through the connector. The flexible fingers additionally coact with adjacent fingers so that they are secured in the deflected position to hold the fiber in place, the fingers being releaseable by lateral movement thereof so as to allow removal of the fibers as desired.
