ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for forming a permanent crimped connection, through which light may be transmitted to and from a fiber-optic cable, by forcibly crimp fitting an adapter for fiber-optic devices, light sources, and light utilization devices, to an end fitting of the fiber-optic cable using a crimping tool. A portion of the end fitting is inserted into an a corresponding passage in the adapter and held in alignment for mating by the crimping tool. When the crimping tool is actuated, a cylindrical outer surface of the end fitting, having a larger diameter than a cylindrical inner surface of the adapter, is pushed into the adapter to create the crimped connection between the end fitting and the adapter.
