ABSTRACT:
A terminal element for fiber optic communication has an elongated body defining a body axis and having a first end from which an optical fiber extends along the body axis. The body has a second end with an angled surface offset at an angle from the body axis. The fiber extends through the length of the body, and terminates at a fiber end surface flush with the angled surface. A lens element is positioned adjacent to the angled surface. The fiber may be hermetically sealed to the body at a position away from first end, and may be sealed with a flexible material at the first end.
