ABSTRACT:
A connector for releasable engagement of a fiberoptic cable with a port on a piece of compatible equipment includes a body of generally cylindrical form which includes a cavity. After a prepared cable end of the fiberoptic cable is inserted through a driving structure and registered against a seal, and the combination placed in a pre-form mold, an epoxy material is flowed into the mold to surround portions of the prepared cable end, thereby creating an assembly consisting of the prepared cable end, the seal, and the hardened epoxy material. The assembly is then disposed inside the cavity of the body after which the assembly is secured to the body using a nut or compression fitting.
