ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for inserting an optical cable into a ferrule which has a cable housing aperture and a fiber retention aperture connected to the cable housing aperture via a tapered section, which includes a cable holder (2) for holding an optical cable (1) from which a length of cable jacket is removed to expose an optical fiber (1B); a ferrule holder (5) for holding a ferrule (F) such that a cable housing aperture (F1) and a fiber retention aperture (F3) are aligned in an extension line of the optical cable; a guiding unit (4) disposed in front of the ferrule holder and having a pair of guiding members (41A, 41B) to form a guiding aperture (43) with a diameter slightly larger than that of the fiber retention aperture; the guiding members movable sideways so that the ferrule holder brings the ferrule close to the cable holder, thereby inserting the optical cable into the ferrule.
