ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic connector is provided for use in temporary repair of broken fiber optic cables. The connector comprises a ceramic plug having a front end and a rear end and a passageway extending through the plug with the passageway sized to snugly receive a buffer stripped optical fiber therethrough in a manner such that the fiber extends out the front end of the plug. The passageway has a size proximate the rear end thereof to permit a portion of buffer covered optical fiber to received therein and thus serves, at the narrow portion of the passageway, as a stop limiting the amount of forward movement of the fiber. A plug support serves to support the rear end of the ceramic plug and includes a passageway coextensive with the plug passageway. The wall surfaces of the passageway are such that they cooperate with a chuck which is attached to the plug support which has clamping fingers such that when the clamping fingers engage the wall surface, they serve to close down upon a buffer covered fiber to securely hold the buffer covered fiber within the connector.
