Abstract

See full text

A fiber cable assembly includes a cable formed from a bundle of fiber optic strands, a buffer encasing the bundle, and a terminator clamp coupled to an end of the cable over the buffer. The terminator clamp includes a first clamp portion and a second clamp portion. The first and second clamp portions each have an engaging surface for engaging the other of the first clamp portion and the second clamp portion. A channel is formed between the first clamp portion and the second clamp portion for receiving an end of the cable. The channel has a cross-sectional area that is less than a cross-sectional area of the cable. The end of the cable can be inserted into the first clamp portion and the second clamp portion can be secured to the first clamp portion to secure the clamp terminator to the cable. The cable is compressed within the channel to a reduced cross-sectional area.
