A turning tool ( ) is inserted into the forward end of an outer housing ( ) and its turning tips ( ) are moved into tip receiving openings ( ) at the base of the flange ( ). The turning too ( ) is both pushed and rotated. The pushing moves the flange ( ) back from the flange ( ). The rotation rotates the inner housing ( ), a ferrule ( ) and an end portion of the cable, including an optical fiber (F) that is within the center line opening ( ) in the ferrule ( ). After the components have been rotated to provide a desired rotational position, the turning tool ( ) is removed. Friction forces between the flange ( ) and the flange ( ) and between the cylindrical surface ( ) and the cylindrical opening within the key ring ( ) hold the components in the azimuthal position that was established.

The modular optical fiber connector includes a ferrule body with a ferrule attached to the front end and a buffer back post extending from the rear end. The ferrule body is permitted to move longitudinally relative to an insert which receives the ferrule and engages the front end of the ferrule body but is restrained against rotation. A coil spring is installed onto the buffer back post of the ferrule body, and engages a connector body that is utilized to internally hold the ferrule body, the insert and the coil spring. A connector nut is a hollow component that has a limiter on the interior wall. The ferrule body and insert in the connector body are inserted into one end of the connector nut and a fastening ring is inserted into the other end of the connector nut, and onto the connector body which is permitted to have longitudinal movement relative to the connector nut within a limited range.

A first coupler part (12) is fastened to a wall (W) by a first pair of screw fasteners (32, 34). The screw fasteners (32, 34) have heads that bear against surface portions of the first coupler part (12) that immediately surround openings (28, 30) that receive the screw fasteners (32, 34). A second coupler part (14) is connectable to the surface (20) of first coupler part (20) that is directed away from the wall (W). When the second coupler part (14) is moved against the first coupler part (12), the heads of the screw fasteners (32, 34) enter into enlarged openings (68, 70) in the second coupler part (14). This allows the surface (48) of the second coupler part (14) to be moved against the surface (20) of the first coupler part (12). The second pair of fasteners (40, 42) are used to connect the second coupler part (14) to the first coupler part (12). Or, the second screw fasteners (40, 42) may extend through openings in the first coupler part and screw into openings in the wall (W).

A fiber optic connector includes an electrical contact for connection with an electrical wire formed within a fiber optic cable. The connector includes a connector body, at least a portion of which is electrically conducting, and an optical fiber retaining body coupled to the connector body. The electrical wire from the cable is coupled to the electrically conducting connector body of the connector. An adapter assembly for coupling the fiber optic connector to any suitable device also includes an electrical conductor for coupling to an electrical application. An electrical contact mounted to the adapter assembly provides an electrically conducting current path between the connector body and the conductor on the adapter assembly.

A buffering sleeve (46) is slid onto an outer end portion of an optical fiber cable (12) that includes an optical fiber surrounded by a buffer covering (16). The buffering sleeve (46) is crimped onto the buffer covering (16). A bared length of optical fiber (14) extends endwise outwardly from the buffering sleeve (46), into and through a center opening (40) in a ferrule (38) that is at the outer end of a connector fitting (10). Connector fitting (10) includes an inwardly opening inner socket (34) that snugly receives the buffer sleeve (46). The inner end portion of the inner socket (34) is crimped onto an inner end portion (52) of the buffering sleeve (46). The bared optical fiber (14) projects forwardly through center opening (40) in ferrule (38). Outwardly of the ferrule (38), the optical fiber (14) is cleaved and polished, flush with the outer end (39) of the ferrule (38).

A fiber optic connector with an epoxy preform is described that facilitates integration of an optical fiber with a connector body and a ferrule. In an illustrated embodiment, the epoxy preform is a cylindrical thermosetting epoxy element having a passage therethrough adapted to receive an optical fiber of a predetermined diameter. The passage through the preform is positively secured within a cavity within the connector body to precisely align the passage with an opening in an abutting ferrule.

A nondisconnectable fiber optic connector assembly includes two fiber optic connectors and an interconnection assembly for joining the two connectors. Each connector has a connector nut and a connector body axially movable within the housing. A ferrule is provided within the connector body for retaining the fiber. The ferrules and connector bodies are axially movable with respect to the interconnection assembly and the connector nuts, and the ferrules are biased toward each other to hold the fibers in contact. The biasing also allows one ferrule to follow its mating ferrule in the event of outwardly directed axial movement of the mating ferrule. A stop member within each connector limits the outwardly directed axial movement of each ferrule, thereby preventing the optical connection from disconnecting.
