An optical connector having an optical fiber mounted in a sleeve, the hardness of the materials comprising the optical fiber being greater than the hardness of the materials comprising the sleeve. An optical connector as described above may be used for making an optical connector having a recessed sleeve, by abrading an end of the optical fiber and the sleeve.

Optical connector

A device for use in connecting an optical fiber with another optical fiber or other optical component. The device comprises a housing having a passage therein where chamfered sleeves are placed end to end. Springs urge a plurality of spherical balls radially inward against chamfered conical surfaces of the sleeves, thereby keeping the sleeves in proper alignment.

Connector for optical fibers

A strain relief apparatus, particularly useful for separating individual optical fibers in a multi-fiber optical cable. Optical fibers from the fiber optic cable are fed through the center of a wedging device and into separate tubes. A coupler wedges first and second members against the wedging device, securing strength members, such as aramid fibers from the fiber optic cable and tubes, between the first and second members and the wedging member.
