Abstract
A fiber optic termination system includes a fiber optic cable having at least one optical fiber surrounded by an outer sheath. A crimp ring is crimped to the cable. A fiber optic connector is terminated to the fiber optic cable and includes a ferrule for terminating the optical fiber. A two-part housing assembly for the connector mounts the fiber optic cable and ferrule and also captures the crimp ring therewithin. A boot surrounds the rear end of the housing to hold the housing closed about the crimp ring on the cable.
