ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a socket assembly for use with a fiber optic light source to enable accommodation of fiber optic cables of varying diameters. The assembly includes a bottom housing section having a central aperture with a plurality of transverse slots communicating with the aperture. Each slot contains a clamp member which includes a spring located in a hollow of the clamp near the bottom surface. The slot contains an extending post which coacts with the spring when the clamp is retained in the slot. A top housing section is rotatably and movably positioned about the bottom housing and has a central aperture coaxial with the aperture in the bottom housing. The aperture in the top housing is surrounded by a circular flange which coacts with a sloping back surface of each clamp member to push the clamp members into the aperture when the top housing is moved downwardly towards the bottom housing. The clamp members are biased by the spring to exert a force about the periphery of a cable inserted within the apertures.
