    摘要: A fiber optic connector assembly includes a connector and a carrier. The connector has a first mating end and a second end and an optical fiber terminated thereto. The fiber defines a first end adjacent the mating end and a second end protruding out of the second end of the fiber optic connector. A carrier having a connector end and an oppositely disposed cable end is engaged with the connector. An alignment structure is disposed on the carrier that includes a first end and a second end and a throughhole extending therebetween, the alignment structure including a cutaway portion extending perpendicularly to and communicating with the throughhole. The optical fiber terminated to the fiber optic connector is positioned within at least a portion of the throughhole with the second end of the optical fiber located within the cutaway portion. A window is disposed within the cutaway portion over the second end of the optic fiber, the window for visually inspecting the alignment of the second end of the fiber with an end of a second fiber entering the cable end of the carrier. A heat activated element that is configured to melt when exposed to a predetermined amount of heat and resolidify when the heat is removed bonds the second optical fiber to the alignment structure.
