ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connector comprises a retaining plate (20,60,85,95,113,142,173) made of comparatively thin sheet metal and having a slot (22,61,86,113a,173a) fomred therein which has an opening at one end, the opening having a width smaller than an outer diameter of an optical fiber jacket (5a,101b,103a) and larger than a diameter of a fiber optic core (5a,101a, 103d). The retaining plate is inserted in a connector body (10,70,80,90,111,141,171) at almost a right angle to an axial direction of the optical fiber cable (5,101,103) disposed in the connector body with the opening of the slot facing toward the optical fiber cable, and the retaining plate is pressed into the connector body and the jacket of the optical fiber cable in the connector body.
