ABSTRACT:
An attachment tool and method for attaching a connector to a plastic-cove optic fiber, said connector formed with a bore slightly smaller than the covered fiber but slightly larger than the fiber core, the tool comprising a block of rigid material having a flat surface containing a straight groove running into and away from a central excision, the dimensions of the groove and excision being such that when the fiber is thread through the connector, and the connector is laid in the excision and the fiber in the groove, the fiber is substantially straight and centrally placed within the connector bore. A heater is used to heat the connector and soften the covering so that the fiber can be pulled through the bore by extrusion of the covering. The covering, which now fills the bore around the fiber core, is allowed to cool and harden, and the protruding fiber is cut off flush with the end of the connector.
