ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for aligning and terminating at least one optical fiber of a fiber optic cable within the fiber optic connector assembly aong a predetermined axis. The fiber optic connector comprises a rigid tubular body having a bore dimensioned for receiving the fiber optic cable, a central axis concentric with the predetermined axis, a split alignment sleeve having an outer dimension greater in dimension than the bore of the rigid tubular body, and a threaded alignment sleeve holder having a central aperture dimension for receiving the rigid tubular body and the compressible split alignment sleeve. The apparatus further includes a compression pin which is inserted into the forward end of the fiber optic connector to concetrically align and separate the fibers of the fiber optic cable.
