ABSTRACT:
A method for securely fixing optical waveguide leads to a connector includes particular steps to ensure that the connection between the connector and the waveguide leads is reliable. First, a winching procedure is utilized before attaching the waveguide lead containing cable to the connector. The winching procedure removes any excess length, i.e., slack, in the cable components that are used to absorb high tension stress. In the second step, after inserting the optical waveguide leads in an elastic positioning member and compressing the positioning member to arrest the leads and thereby form crescent-shaped cavities between the waveguide leads and the positioning member, the cavities are filled with a quick-hardening glue.
