ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for the at least partially stripped end of an optical fiber cable includes a crimp ring (10) having a longitudinal bore (14) therethrough, the bore having a large diameter portion (20) and a small diameter portion (22). The large diameter portion is adapted to engage a jacketed segment of cable (28) whereas the small diameter portion (22) is adapted to encompass an unjacketed segment of cable (28). The crimp ring (10) is crimped onto the unjacketed segment about small diameter portion (22), and coupling means, e.g., flange member (24), are used to couple crimp ring (10) to connector plug (36) by crimping on flange member (24). The connector plug (36) receives crimp ring (10) therein, has a bore (38) through which the cable (28) passes, and has an outlet (42) where the cable (28) is cleaved.
