ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic connector includes a collapsible crimp ring, a rigid strain relief member, and a deformable strain relief member. The rigid strain relief member, in conjunction with the crimp ring, will grip protective filaments from an optical fiber cable if they are available. The deformable strain relief member will grip a buffered optical fiber when deformed by the crimp ring.
