ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic connector defines an optical axis and includes a housing mounting a forwardly protruding ferrule. A bore extends axially through the housing and the ferrule for terminating a fiber optic cable, with an exposed optical fiber in the bore of the ferrule. A spring loaded gripping clamp is mounted on the housing for receiving and gripping the optical fiber when inserted into the ferrule. The spring loaded gripping clamp is movable between a normally closed position for gripping the fiber and an open position for receiving the fiber. An appropriate tool can be used in moving the gripping clamp to its open position.
