Abstract

A connector for a fiber optic cable has at least one clamp sheet fitted in a corresponding at least one slit defined therethrough. The clamp sheet is particularly defined with an H-shaped opening having upper and lower edges respectively formed with two insertion pieces. Whereby when upper and lower ends of the clamp sheet are pressed inwardly, the insertion pieces of the clamp sheet respectively pierce an outer cover of the fiber optic cable fed through the opening of the clamp sheet, such that deviations including the rotational movement of the cable are effectively avoided, and the fiber optic cable is accurately positioned in the connector and securely connected with respect to the connector.

Dependent claims

A connector for a fiber optic cable having a head, a waist and a holding portion, and having a stepped hole defined therein to receive the fiber optic cable fitted therein, wherein the holding portion of the connector is defined with at least one slit extending radially therethrough, a rectangular clamp sheet is fitted in the slit, wherein the improvements comprise:

the clamp sheet has two concavities respectively defined at two opposite sides thereof, and has therein defined an H-shaped opening having upper and lower edges respectively formed with two insertion pieces extending therefrom along a same extending direction of the clamp sheet;
whereby
when upper and lower ends of the clamp sheet are pressed inwardly, the insertion pieces of the clamp sheet respectively pierce an outer cover of the fiber optic cable fed through the opening of the clamp sheet.
