  • Method and apparatus for connector assembly
    Patent number: 5102211
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for the assembly of an adhesiveless optical fiber termination applies a selected force characteristic over a selected displacement. The apparatus includes a holder element, a drive element, and a positioning element which directs the relative motion of the holder and drive elements. In operation, the holder element receives a partially assembled optical fiber termination including inner and outer portions and a compressive system. The drive element, guided by the positioning element, provides the force which presses the portions of the termination telescopically together. The telescoping of the two components compresses the compressive system into mechanical engagement with the optical fiber.
