Abstract: An assembly tool for installing an optical fiber in an optical connector includes a base and a protrusion setting station. The base includes a connector mount disposed in the base. The connector mount can be configured to receive and secure the optical connector on the base where the connector has a housing and a connector ferrule. The protrusion setting station enables the craftsperson to set distance (or protrusion) that a terminal end of the optical fiber extends from an end face of the connector ferrule. The protrusion station includes a light source to illuminate the terminal end of the optical fiber, at least one black body absorber to eliminate unwanted reflected light and a window to visualize the terminal end of the optical fiber protruding from the end face of the connector ferrule.

Abstract: An LC format optical connector for terminating an optical fiber includes a housing including an outer shell with an LC format and a front face configured to mate with an LC receptacle, the housing including a resilient latch disposed on a surface of the outer shell and configured to engage the LC receptacle. A backbone is configured to engage an outer surface of the outer shell on a first portion thereof and includes a mounting structure disposed on a second portion thereof that is configured to engage a boot. A collar body is disposed in the housing and retained between the outer shell and the backbone. The collar body includes a fiber stub disposed in a first portion of the collar body, the fiber stub being mounted in a ferrule and having a first end proximate to an end face of the ferrule and a second end. A mechanical splice is disposed in a second portion of the collar body, the mechanical splice configured to splice the second end of the fiber stub to the optical fiber. The backbone also includes a fiber jacket clamping portion to clamp a jacket portion that surrounds a portion of the optical fiber upon actuation. The boot actuates the fiber jacket clamping portion of the backbone upon attachment to the backbone.
