ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic cable connection having easy cable insertion and greater pull strength is obtained by providing a cable connector (30) embodying a tapered, partially split sheath (38) around the cable (18) in a tapered hole (36) in the connector body (32) and a compression nut (34) for adjusting the compression of the partially split sheath (38). When the cable (18) is inserted, springy legs (42) on the tapered sheath (38) bend apart to allow easy insertion. When an attempt is made to withdraw the cable (18) ends (44) of legs (42) bite into the cable, resisting removal. The compression nut (34) permits disassembly of the connector (30) if desired and allows adjustment of the cable clamping force. The tapered sheath (38) may be easily removed without damage to the cable (18).
