ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic connector includes a ferrule assembly in which the ferrule is mounted in a barrel member having a first bore therein for containing a buffered fiber and a second, larger bore for containing any excess epoxy introduced during connectoriziation. The first and second bores are connected by a tapered section. A cable retaining member has a first, cup-shaped end which surrounds the barrel member, a first bore and a second smaller bore which has a diameter greater than the diameter of the buffered fiber to permit the buffered fiber to bend. The end of the retention member remote from the cup-shaped end has a tapered opening leading into the second bore.
