  • Fiber optic polishing fixture
    Patent number: 5577149
    Abstract: A fiber optic connector polishing fixture for polishing optical fibers which are to be connected with other optical fibers includes synthetic ruby balls symmetrically aligned on an aluminum substrate which is configured to permit a ferrule and its outer housing to be inserted for polishing. The ruby balls define a polishing plane axially spaced from the substrate for polishing an optical fiber which is longitudinally disposed within the ferrule. The ruby balls and ferrule are moved along an abrasive material until the ferrule and optical fiber are suitably polished.
