ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method of forming a molded, field-installable optical connector. The method uses a support assembly which includes a wire mandrel, (10), a mandrel holder, (11), surrounding a portion of the wire, and a mandrel sleeve, (12), surrounding a portion of the mandrel holder and including an end surface, (15). Positioned at the end surface is a watch bearing jewel, (16), with an aperture, (17), through which the wire is inserted. As backbone insert, (19), is also located around a portion of the mandrel sleeve. The assembly is positioned within a molding apparatus including a precision frusto-conical die, (25), by inserting the wire through a second jewel, (26), mounted in the die. After molding, the connector, which includes the first jewel embedded at one end of the molded part and the backbone insert as a strength member, is removed from the support assembly.
