ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic connector is provided for coupling a fiber optic cable. The connector includes a two part clamp body having a V groove therethrough defining a passage. The passage is of two different sizes to securely hold the fiber of a cable and the fiber covered with buffer layer of a cable therein. A metal tube extends out the back of the connector and serves as a base with a strength layer of the cable whereby an outer sleeve can be crimped onto the Kevlar to hold the Kevlar between the outer sleeve and the inner tube. The two part body is held together by a split sleeve at the front portion thereof and a coupling member serves to couple the connector to an adapter for connecting the connector to a light connector or other fiber optic device. A keying mechanism is provided to ensure that upon repeated couplings the fiber connector is always connected in the same relative rotation position to prevent scarring of the end of the fiber.
