The fixture includes a cable clamping mechanism consisting of a pair of links that are pivotally attached to movable portions of a nest that receives and holds the terminated end of the cable. A holding member is positioned above the nests to steady and hold the cables in rough position while the nest accurately positions the fiber optic end for polishing. A dovetail member is provided to accurately attach the fixture to the polishing machine. The fixture is arranged to not contact the abrasive material during polishing.
