ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic contact comprises a fiber optic cable having a first free end, and a sleeve member surrounding the first free end and proportioned to support the first free end in abutting relation with a second free end of another fiber optic cable for optical transmission between them. In accordance with this invention, a collet is slidably mounted on the sleeve member. Compression spring means are carried on the sleeve member between the collet and the first free end, so that the contact may be retained in the desired abutting relation by retention means that engages the collet in a position to bias the first free end against the second free end through the spring means.
