Abstract
Disclosed is an improved optical fiber cable connector including a housing having a through hole to permit insertion of an end of an optical fiber cable, and a retaining portion to fix the optical fiber cable within the housing. The retaining portion is integrally connected to the housing in such a way that it may be yieldingly sheared and separated from the housing when pressed down, thus permitting the retaining portion to enter the through hole of the housing and engage the optical fiber cable within the housing.
