Abstract: A connector includes a body and a cap configured to be threadedly coupled with the body. The body is configured to receive a fiber optic cable therein and to be coupled with a sub-assembly of a fiber optic connector, an inner surface of the body includes an annularly-extending ridge that protrudes radially inward, and the body is configured to be radially compressed on a jacket of the fiber optic cable when the cap is threadedly coupled with the body.

Abstract: A fiber optic connector includes a body portion and a coupling portion configured to be coupled with the body portion. The body portion is configured to receive a fiber optic cable, and the coupling portion is configured to radially compress a portion of the body portion onto an outer jacket of a fiber optic cable to clamp the outer jacket and to prevent relative axial movement between the fiber optic cable and the connector when the coupling portion is coupled with the body portion so as to mechanically couple the body portion with the fiber optic cable without having to use a crimping tool.

Abstract: A reel holder includes a first reel holder member including a first frame member and a first ring member a second reel holder member including a second frame member and a second ring member. The first ring member is configured to be coupled with the first frame member such that the first ring member is configured to be rotatable relative to the first frame member, and the second ring member is configured to be coupled with the second frame member such that the second ring member is configured to be rotatable relative to the second frame member. The first ring member is configured to be coupled with a first flange of a reel, and the second ring member is configured to be coupled with a second flange of reel. The first ring member is configured to rotate relative to the first frame member when the reel is rotated, the second ring member is configured to rotate relative to the second frame when the reel is rotated. The first ring member includes protrusions configured to extend through the first flange of the reel, a radially outer surface of each of the protrusions is configured to support an inner surface of a hub of the reel, the second ring member includes protrusions configured to extend through the second flange of the reel, and a radially outer surface of each of the protrusions is configured to support the inner surface of the hub.
