Patent number: 6962446Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fabricating an optical plug connector, according to which the optical waveguide is immersed with the exposed optical fiber into a powdery adhesive and is withdrawn from the same, whereby particles of the powdery adhesive remain adhered to the surface of the fiber. The fiber with the adhered particles is then inserted into the bore of the ferrule of the plug connector and is fixed therein. The ferrule is heated to a temperature greater than or equal to the melting temperature of the adhesive and is maintained at this temperature.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2001Date of Patent: November 8, 2005Assignee: Huber & Suhner AGInventors: Daniel Greub, Beat Koch, Igor Marjetic, Paul Tanner, Martin Burkhard

Patent number: 6491444Abstract: A method fixes an optical fiber (15) in a connector (10) for an optical plug-in connection. The connector (10) includes a location body (11) having a bore hole (12) to receive the optical fiber (15). In accordance with the method, the optical fiber (15) is inserted into the bore hole (12) of the location body (11) and is fixed therein by bonding with an adhesive (19). Easy and stable bonding is achieved by using a solid chemically reactive adhesive (19) which is reacted when brought into a liquid state and which enables a temperature-resistant connection.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2000Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignee: Huber & Suhner AGInventors: Daniel Greub, Beat Koch, Kurt Stephan, Urs Fankhauser
