Abstract
A connector is disclosed for a fiber optic cable having one or more single optical fibers. A restraint member is fixedly attached to the strength member of the fiber optic cable. The restraint member is removably mounted in the rear section of a yoke while contacts terminated to the optical fibers are releasably mounted on the forward section of the yoke. The cable restraint member provides means so that the contacts may be positioned at equal distances from the end of the cable and the yoke permits the terminated fibers to be mounted in the connector without overstressing the fibers.
