Abstract

1478135 Ferrule for fibre optic THOMSONCSF 31 March 1976 [2 April 1975] 13100/76 Heading G2J A sheathed fibre 1 is terminated in a ferrule body 2 by being threaded through piston 4 deformable material 3 and a clearance hole 221. The piston is moved to force material 3 to deform and this latter centralizes the fibre which is then coated by an adhesive 220 and the end 21 of the ferrule body is polished flat. Two such ferrules are abutted in a groove in a connector plate, Fig. 3 (not shown). The periphery, or a part thereof, of the ferrule is used as a reference surface.
