ABSTRACT:
A solid extruded light conductive ribbon of generally rectangular cross section is provided with a tubular ferrule by the steps of placing a section of heat shrink tubing over the end of the ribbon, heating the tubing and ribbon until the shrinking of the tubing deforms the ribbon end into a generally cylindrical form and then applying a cylindrical ferrule over the end of the ribbon and crimping the ferrule in place. The heat shrink tubing thus serves to protect the conductive ribbon during the crimping operation and serves to form the ribbon end into cylindrical form as well.
