ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connector for terminating and providing strain relief on an optical fiber cable having an inner fiber, an outer jacket and longitudinal strength material therebetween. A housing has a rear input end into which the fiber, stripped of the outer jacket, extends, along with a front termination end. The rear input end of the housing is externally threaded and about which the longitudinal strength material is positionable. An internally threaded strain relief member is provided and through which the cable extends. The strain relief member is threadable onto the externally threaded rear input end of the housing to clamp the longitudinal strength material directly between the threads of the housing and the strain relief member. Grooves span the threads of the housing to prevent at least some of the longitudinal strength material from spiralling with the threads when the strain relief member is threaded onto the housing.
