Filed:

Apr 3, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/116493

Inventors:

Terry Lee Adams - Huntington Beach CA

Assignee:

ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

B23P 1900

US Classification:

29762, 29729, 29739

Abstract:

An extraction tool ( ) not only releases an optical fiber terminus ( ) from a retainer clip ( ) so the terminus can be moved rearwardly out of the connector, but also retracts the terminus without applying tension to the optical fiber ( ) or force to the tip ( ) of the optical fiber. The tool includes inner and outer tubes ( ), the inner tube having a front portion ( ) forming a plurality of fingers ( ) with front ends ( ) that can grasp the terminus body. After the inner tube has been inserted into place, the outer tube is slid forwardly past the inner tube to expand the tines ( ) of the retainer clip and prevent the fingers of the inner tube from expanding. Without sliding the tubes relative to each other, the inner and outer tubes are pulled rearwardly out of the connector passage to withdraw the terminus without pulling on the optical fiber.
