ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic cable is crimped to a fiber optic connector using a crimp sleeve having an insertion tube which is inserted between the optical fiber and reinforcement yarns of the cable. A flange projecting from the tube flares the yarn upon insertion of the tube into the cable. Subsequent insertion of the crimp sleeve and cable into a housing causes the flared yarn to fold back onto the cable avoiding contact of the yarn with adhesive in the connector.
