ABSTRACT:
A connector ferrule is disclosed for a fiber optic ribbon cable which includes a plurality of generally parallel optical fibers in a line. A ferrule body receives the cable and includes a fiber passage which is elongated in cross-section to receive the line of optical fibers that are exposed by removing the jacket at an end portion of the fiber optic ribbon cable. A filler adhesive is disposed in the elongated fiber passage for fixing the fibers in the fiber passage in proper spaced relationship. Therefore, the line of fibers can be precisely aligned and relatively spaced from exteriorly of the fiber passage, and the filler adhesive can fix the fibers in that precise alignment and relative spacing interiorly of the fiber passage.
