Abstract
A fiber optic terminus (11) comprising a body (13) having a passage (15) therein which opens at an outer surface. The passage (15) can receive an optical fiber (19), and the fiber is guided into position by a fiber guide (17). A temperature-activated adhesive (21) is carried by the body (13), and the adhesive (21) is flowable when its temperature is raised to a predetermined level. A force-applying system, including a plunger (23) and a spring (25), applies a compressive force to the adhesive (21). Accordingly, when the temperature of the adhesive (21) is raised to the predetermined level, the adhesive (21) flows under the influence of the compressive force and adheres the optical fiber (19) in the passage (15).
