ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an improvement in a fiber optic connector of the type having a main body to which is secured a ceramic ferrule. The improvement resides in that the mating ferrule is a ceramic ferrule arranged in a press-fit engagement within the recess such that the ferrule does not abut against the bottom of the recess and extends beyond the main body a fixed predetermined distance to be compatible for mating with other like connectors. The requirement for using epoxy to fix the ferrule to the body and later polishing down of the ferrule is eliminated. The invention also resides in a tool for assembling the fiber optic connector and the method of using the tool to assemble the connector.
