ABSTRACT:
A method of holding the bared end of a plastic sheathed optical fiber accurately on axis of a metal ferrule through which it is threaded while a potting compound is cured which cements the assembly. The method uses a silicone rubber jig cast from an accurately machined mold. The resilience of the jig enables variations in diameter to be accommodated so that holes for locating the ferrule and the bared fiber end need to be coaxial, but their size is not critical. Many jigs can be cast from a single mold reducing costs and increasing output as compared with prior methods.
