Abstract
An improved fiber optic cable termination means is disclosed which enables the use of such cable in electrical connector housings of known configurations. The present fiber optic cable termination means is adopted to be used in replacement of a standard electrical cable connector termination in a standard housing so that existing connector housings can be used in the fiber optics industry. The subject termination means also enables the hybrid use of connectors having both optical fiber cables as well as conventional electrical cables, including coaxial cables, connected thereto.
