ABSTRACT:
A termination for fiberoptic or liquid-filled light-conducting cables comprises a fitting which extends into the end of the cable sheath, and on which is threaded a ferrule. In one version, the ferrule and fitting have opposed frusto-conical surfaces which pinch the sheath to provide a secure connection between the sheath and the fitting and to prevent the entry of foreign matter into the interior of the cable or the leakage of liquid out of the cable, if liquid-filled. In another version of the invention, the ferrule and fitting have opposed radial walls which compress an auxiliary elastomeric ring. The ring, when compressed, pushes the sheath radially inwardly into a groove in the fitting to provide a secure attachment of the sheath to the fitting and an effective seal of the interior of the cable.
