ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic terminus (11) comprising a body (13) having a passage (43) therein and a longitudinally compressible and radially expandable coupling element (15) in the passage. The coupling element (15) has a passage (60) therein adapted to receive a portion of an optical fiber (23). An axial force is applied to the coupling element (15) by a plunger (17) and a spring (19). The coupling element (15) is compressed axially and expanded radially to retain the optical fiber (23) in the passage (60) of the coupling element.
