Abstract
An end connector for connecting a tubular support structure having at least one optic fiber associated with a fiber optic cable, to a terminal of an associated device. A housing member is configured with a passageway from a front end to a rear end for passing the tubular support structure therethrough. A clamping portion including a flexible sleeve and compression grommet are received and supported by both the housing and a compression nut which couples to the rear end of the housing. As the compression nut is threaded onto the rear end of the housing, the compression grommet is compressed, and in turn the flexible sleeve constricts to apply clamping pressure to the tubular support structure holding the optic fibers.
