ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic connector comprises a rigid housing member having a passageway therethrough of continuous diameter and ferrule members of relatively rigid yet resiliently deformable material having a bore of a dimension to receive exposed ends of fiber optic transmission members of fiber optic cables therein while the diameter of the external surface of the ferrule members is greater than the diameter of the passageway so that forcible movement of the ferrule members along the passageway until they abut therein causes radial deformation of the ferrule members to frictionally and compressibly engage the housing member and the exposed ends of the fiber optic transmission members thereby securing the fiber optic transmission members within the passageway in axial alignment.
