  • Fiber optic connector element & method for its use
    Patent number: 4877303
    Abstract: An optical fiber connector element comprises: a connector body having a passage extending therethrough, the passage having a forward portion for receiving an optical fiber and a rearward portion which is wider than the forward portion for receiving an optical fiber and surrounding protective material; and an optical fiber stub secured within the forward portion of the passage, the optical fiber stub having a forward end surface which has an optical finish. The connector element is used to terminate an optical fiber cable by: cutting the cable to a desired length; stripping back an end portion of protective material surrounding an optical fiber of the cable to expose an end portion of the optical fiber; and securing the exposed fiber end portion and an end portion of the protective material remaining on the fiber in the connector body passage with the fiber end portion in abutment and axial alignment with the fiber stub.
