Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A connector for optically connecting first and second optical fiber contacts terminating first and second optical fibers includes a split ring comprising first and second split ring halves disposed around each of the contacts such that an enlarged internal bore of the split ring encloses a flange of the contact so as to allow limited relative longitudinal movement between the contact and the split ring. The split ring allows a nut to be disposed over an end of the contact prior to assembling the split ring about the contact which allows the construction to be reduced in size.
