ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a universal connector assembly for use with a fiber optic light source to enable accommodation of fiber optic cables of varying diameters. The connector assembly includes a central aperture directed from a top to a bottom surface. A plurality of transverse slots communicate with the aperture. Each slot contains a clamp member which is biased by means of a spring to enable the clamp members to coact with each other within the aperture during a first mode. A cable or rod is inserted in the aperture to force the clamp members and associated springs radially along the slots. When the rod is inserted in the aperture, the springs urge the clamp members to coact with and retain the rod or cable within the aperture to thereby assure an efficient and reliable coupling mechanism capable of accommodating any one of a given number of varying diameter cables.
