Abstract
A stabilizing coupling body assembly for a connector is provided with a monolithic coupling body dimensioned to couple with a cable end of a connector body of the connector. A plurality of grip fingers extends from a cable end of the coupling body, the grip fingers dimensioned for insertion within a bore of a stabilizing body. The stabilizing body is coupled to a cable end of the coupling body. A distal end of the grip fingers is proximate an annular wedge surface of the bore of the stabilizing body. The wedge surface is provided with a taper between a maximum diameter proximate a connector end and a minimum diameter proximate a cable end. The grip fingers are driven radially inward as the stabilizing body is advanced axially towards the coupling body. Methods of manufacture include forming elements of the coupling body assembly via injection molding and/or machining.
