Abstract

A press apparatus (20) for pressing plugs onto fiber optic cables in a terminating socket includes a planar, rectangular frame comprised of two parallel posts (30) slidably engaged with two parallel endplates (40, 50). Split-rings (34) fitted on the posts (30) prevent the endplates (40, 50) from slipping off the posts (30) and permit easy assembly and disassembly of the frame. The press apparatus further comprises a socket guide (90) attached to the inner surface of one endplate (40). Attached to the inner surface (110) of the other endplate (50) are hydraulic cylinders (100) which connect to a force plate (140) that supports a plunger (190) in alignment with the central axis of the socket guide (90). A pump (10) supplies pressure to the hydraulic cylinders (100) and forces the plunger (190) towards the socket guide (90).
