ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic terminus is provided in which a deformable material (37), such as an elastomer, is compressed and grips an optical fiber (34) along a substantial length of a terminus body (10). In accomplishing this, an opening (15, 16, 18) in a front terminus body (10) receives a liquid material (37) which can be cured to a solid consistency. An optical fiber (34) then is extended through an opening (24, 25, 26) in a rear terminus body (20) and through the passageway (15, 16, 18) in the front terminus body (10), emerging at the forward end of the latter. The rear terminus body (20) then is forced a short distance into the passageway (15) in the front connector body (10) and the material (37) is cured to a solid consistency. After this, the rear connector body (20), which has a press fit within the passageway (15), is moved to a second position causing compression of the material (37) in the passageway ( 15, 16, 18) so that it grips the optical fiber (34).
