Abstract

Termination systems and devices disclosed herein use an optical fiber handler that attaches to the optical fiber or buffer layer of an optical fiber and cooperates with other components such as one or more fiber preparation tools for preparing the optical fiber and / or making the optical connection, thereby providing a simple, reliable, and easy termination for the optical fiber (i.e. optical connection). For instance, the handler may cooperate with one or more of the following a strip tool, strip / clean tool, cleave tool for preparing the end of the optical fiber(s), and / or a mechanical splice connector for making the optical connection. More specifically, a fiber optic connector ( 300 ) for making a mechanical splice with an optical fiber secured in an optical fiber handler (10) is disclosed. The fiber optic connector provides the craft with a simple, fast and reliable way for terminating the optical fiber.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 295,482, filed January 15, 2010, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] The present disclosure is directed to a fiber optic connector for a termination system for making fiber optic connections in a fast, easy and reliable manner. Specifically, the disclosed fiber optic connectors mate with fiber handlers that are attached to the optical fiber or the buffer layer of the optical fiber and that can be mated with other components for preparing the optical fiber. [0004] Optical fibers are increasingly being used in various applications in public and private networks for broadband voice transmission, video transmission, data transmission, and the like. Benefits of using fiber optics include extremely wide bandwidth and low noise operation. With the increasing use and diversification of fiber optics, it is important...
