Abstract
A turning tool (12) is inserted into the forward end of an outer housing (26) and its turning tips (18) are moved into tip receiving openings (24) at the base of the flange (26). The turning too (12) is both pushed and rotated. The pushing moves the flange (46) back from the flange (24). The rotation rotates the inner housing (28), a ferrule (20) and an end portion of the cable, including an optical fiber (F) that is within the center line opening (78) in the ferrule (20). After the components have been rotated to provide a desired rotational position, the turning tool (12) is removed. Friction forces between the flange (46) and the flange (24) and between the cylindrical surface (48) and the cylindrical opening within the key ring (52) hold the components in the azimuthal position that was established.
