ABSTRACT:
An improved ferrule is disclosed for use in connectors terminating cables including at least one optical fiber. The ferrule is made, at least in part, from materials having an index of refraction approximating that of the cladding on the optical fiber of the cable, which cladding must be removed in order to assure precision location for maximum effective termination. The material of the ferrule and/or the adhesives used therewith will simulate the removed cladding to contain the light passing through the fiber thereby enhancing the fiber connection.
