Abstract
A process for placing an optical fiber in a connector tip or ferrule and a connector tip for this process. The process is characterized by the fact that an outside protective sheath is removed along a predetermined length from one end of the fiber and the fiber is threaded through the connector top so that a portion of the fiber so stripped of its outside sheath is within the connector tip with the remaining stripped portion of the fiber projecting from the front end of the connector tip. The connector tip is then joined to the portion of the fiber still bearing its outside sheath by crimping and then that portion of the fiber stripped of its outside sheath is cut near the front end of the connector tip.
