ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method of installing an optic fiber in an optics package, wherein the tip of the fiber extends from a sleeve. In one step, a point of the fiber proximate its tip is affixed in a retaining member adjacent a device for communicating signals through the fiber. In a second step, a flexible member is disposed between the retaining member and the sleeve and in axial alignment with the fiber. In a third step, the optic fiber is positioned in the optics package after the step of affixing the fiber in place with the respect to the communicating device. In another embodiment, the present invention includes an optics assembly including an optic fiber having a tip extending from a sleeve and a device for communicating signals through the fiber. The assembly further includes a retaining member for affixing the fiber tip proximate the device for communicating signals through the fiber. Finally, the assembly includes a flexible member attached between the retaining member and the sleeve.
