The optical fiber 1.2 is provided with a glue, glue or other coating 8.4 which is stripped off near the end and inserted and glued into a magnet 8.9. The inner side of the trim fitting 5.7 is adhered to at least one of the outside of the magnet 8.9 and the outside of the coating 8.4. The end of the cutting metal fitting 6.7 is 85.3 as shown in the diagram.
They are designed to interlock with each other as shown in 6. 20.21,
22.2B is an adhesive part. At the end of the optical fiber, 85.8
