ABSTRACT:
The flexible sheath of a fiberoptic cable is clamped to an externally grooved tubular insert by an O-ring engaged by a frusto-conical portion of the internal wall of a compression fitting. The compression fitting applies an inward force to the O-ring, urging the sheath into the groove on the insert. The compression fitting is secured to a termination connector by adhesive and also by a cooperating ridge and groove which snap together. The termination connector engages the tubular insert. The compression fitting, which is secured to the termination connector cannot back away from the termination connector. Therefore, the frusto-conical portion of the inner wall of the compression fitting maintains inward pressure on the O-ring and the ring presses the sheath tightly into the groove.
