ABSTRACT:
An assembly for pulling the end of a cable includes a hollow anchoring body having an axial passage formed in a front end thereof for receiving an end of the cable. The anchoring body has an integral hollow cylindrical skirt coaxially extending rearwardly, the skirt receiving an axially positioned insulating ring and a clamping assembly that is located radially inwardly of the ring. The clamping assembly has three sections: (a) a hollow sleeve having an internal thread at a rear end thereof and a tapered shoulder at a front end thereof; (b) a clamping member received in the tapered shoulder of the sleeve; (c) a fastener screwed into the internal thread and abutting the clamping member; and (d) a head formed on the fastener to permit it to be screwed into the thread and apply axial pressure to the clamping member thereby forcing the clamping member to clamp the covering of an optical module of the cable. A removable hollow pulling cover axially abuts the anchoring body and covers the cylindrical skirt. A terminal plate located at an end of the hollow casing, opposite the cylindrical skirt, connects stripped fibers thereto.
