ABSTRACT:
An optical connector for coupling an optical fiber cable to another optical fiber cable or optical device. The optical fiber cable has an optical fiber for carrying an optical signal, and it also has a plurality of strain relief members. The optical connector comprises a barrel and ferrule having an optical fiber pre-mounted therein. The optical fiber from the optical fiber cable and the optical fiber are butt-spliced in a central part of the barrel. The optical connector further comprises a connector housing and a cylindrical sleeve member which is slidably mounted over a cable receiving end of the connector housing. The plurality of strain relief members are distributed around the cable receiving end, and the cylindrical sleeve member is guided therearound and then crimped thereon. The cylindrical sleeve member secures the plurality of strain relief members of the optical fiber cable directly to the connector housing.
