ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber terminus is provided in which front and rear connector bodies 15, 22 are provided, each having a bore 16, 35, 36, with a counterbore 17 being formed in the rearward end of the front connector body 15. A sleeve 42 of resilient material is positioned in the counterbore and an optical fiber 13 is extended through the sleeve 42 and the bores 16, 35, 36. The rear connector body 20 is advanced a predetermined distance into the counterbore 17, which it engages with a press fit, so that it engages and compresses the sleeve 42, and causes the sleeve 42 to grip and retain the optical fiber 13.
