ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a connector adapted to receive fiber cables. The connector comprises a housing including a first opening and a second opening which includes a first beveled portion. The connector further comprises a means for holding and aligning a cable and being adapted to slidably fit into the first opening, a wedge means adapted to slidably fit into the second opening, and means for fastening the wedge means to the housing. A means for preventing free rotation of the wedge means in absence of the holding and aligning means is also included. The second opening is machined such that the wedge means is forced against the holding and aligning means as the wedge means is moved into the second opening.
