ABSTRACT:
A fixture and method for mounting one or more optic fibers and attached ferrule assemblies transverse to an abrasive surface. The fixture includes a holder plate (12) having one or more boreholes (14) disposed in axial alignment adjacent a peripheral edge of the plate and connected thereto by laterally extending slots (16). An upper portion (18) of the boreholes is relatively smaller in diameter than a lower portion (20). The optical fiber (26) and ferrule assembly (28) is slid into the borehole through the slot, seated in place, and retained therein by a retainer plate (22) having an aligned borehole through which an end of the ferrule assembly extends. The helical coil spring (32) provides a bias force to urge the ferrule assembly (28) against the abrasive surface.
