Abstract
A fiber fixing device comprising a plurality of metallic tubular members arranged around an optical fiber and a holding member disposed around the tubular members for holding the tubular members in a compressed state. This device is for use in fixing the optical fiber to a plug or the like.
Claims9
A fiber mixing device for fixing an optical fiber comprising:
- a plurality of tubular fixing members for arranging around the optical fiber;
- and
- means for holding the fixing members around the optical fiber in a compressed state, the holding means shaped such that when the fixing members are arranged around the optical fiber, the fixing members must be forced to be inserted into the holding means, thereby, causing the fixing members to plastically deform and make contact with the optical fiber at many points elastically holding the optical fiber.
