- the ferrule body (10a) may include at least one first locking feature (14) and the cover (60c) may include at least one second locking feature (93).
- the at least one first and second locking features (14, 93) may engage each other to secure the cover (60c) to the ferrule body (10a).
- One (14) of the first and second locking features may be a post and the other one (93) of the first and second locking features may be an opening.
- the first and second locking features (14, 93) assist in preventing the fibers (30) from peeling or delaminating.
- the cover (60) as described herein facilitates faster and repeatable bonding of the fibers to the grooves that can be automated since the bonding process does not depend much on the quality of the interference pattern between the fibers and the grooves.
- the fibers are sandwiched between the ferrule body (10) and the cover (60), providing suitable bonding strengths of the fibers to the grooves.
