ABSTRACT:
An adhesiveless optical fiber termination employs an outer element having a through passage that receives an optical fiber. A tubular inner element fits over the cable and telescopically seats in the passage of the outer element. An elastomeric compressive system is seated within the passage substantially encircling the optical fiber and is radially inwardly deformed into secure engagement with the optical fiber therein in response to compressive engagement between the outer element and the inner element.
