A connector for fiber optic cable comprising a one-piece body having a plurality of holes in a first end dimensioned to receive an optical fiber and reinforcing members. The connector comes preassembled with a ferrule connector at the opposing end. The first end has a slot therein dividing the first end and holes into two halves. A crimp sleeve is crimped to the connector body, compressing the first end of the connector body and thereby gripping the reinforcing members. Reinforcing fibers are crimped between the connector body and crimping sleeve.
A fiber optic furcation method for fiber optic cables having a plurality of optical fibers and a fiber optic junction made by said method. The method comprises the steps of threading each optical fiber into a separate fiber optic cable forming a junction; placing a first tube around the junction so that the tube covers the reinforcing members of the fiber optic cables; folding reinforcing fibers from the fiber optic cables over the first tube; applying an adhesive to the reinforcing fibers; placing a second tube around the junction; and shrink wrapping the junction.
A compact adaptor for holding two individual fiber optic connectors in flexible side-by-side positions for future alignment within a common connector housing. The adaptor comprises two clamp members for engaging the connectors on opposite sides thereof. The clamp members each comprise two shallow U-shaped sections, with each section having a base portion and leg portions integral therewith. A bridge member extends outwardly from the bases and is outwardly bowed such that it can be manipulated by the user of the connectors and adaptor. Such manipulation of the bridge member permits relative movement of the U-shaped sections and thus relative movement of the side-by-side fiber optic connectors in a direction perpendicular to their longitudinal axes.
