ABSTRACT:
An adapter for securement to a terminus at an end of a fiber optic cable and which permits the terminus to be fitted within a connector with an effective environmental seal between the cable and the connector. The adapter is concentrically disposed about the fiber optic cable sheathing and engages the rearward end of the terminus. The adapter has an outer body with a forwardly projecting plug sized to fit within the open rearward end of the terminus. Thus, when the terminus is inserted into the connector, a tight environmental seal is maintained between the fiber optic cable and the connector.
