ABSTRACT:
An optical fibre cable terminating tool (16) and method for terminating a cable to a connector (13) of the type having at one end a ferrule (14) provided with a meltable adhesive therein. The tool (16) has a recess 16a for receiving and locating a connector (13) with its ferrule end projecting from the recess and permitting the end to be inserted into a heating recess of an oven. A heat sensitive element (36) is provided on the tool spaced from the recess end and this displays a change in appearance at a predetermined temperature which is indicative of a higher temperature at the ferrule at which higher temperature the adhesive is molten.
