ABSTRACT:
Connector ferrule and method for terminating an optical waveguide cable. The ferrule, of generally truncated conical profile, is configured having a profiled passageway therethrough from a rearward cable receiving portion to a forward bore critically located centrally of a forward ferrule face and sized to allow only the passage of an unclad waveguide portion therethrough. The waveguide cable is secured within the ferrule by adhesive means, with an unclad waveguide portion protruding through the forward ferrule bore and a clad waveguide portion within an intermediate region of the passageway. Thereafter, the forward nose of the ferrule and the unclad waveguide portion therethough are removed to present a clad waveguide face centrally of a forward face of the ferrule.
