Abstract: An example method of filling epoxy in a fiber optic connector includes: applying the epoxy to a ferrule of a first connector at a first pressure for a first period of time; applying the epoxy to the first connector at a second pressure for a second period of time until the epoxy is sensed to exit a hole defined by the ferrule of the first connector; comparing the second period of time to a threshold; when the second period of time is greater than the threshold, increasing the first pressure, the first period of time, or the second pressure; and when the second period of time is less than the threshold, decreasing the first pressure, the first period of time, or the second pressure.

Abstract: Methods and devices for assembling a fiber optic connector are provided. A device supports at least one fiber optic connector. The connector has an optical fiber inserted through the ferrule so that an exposed portion is disposed outside of the ferrule. Residual epoxy on the exposed portion is cured prior to physically manipulating the optical fiber within the ferrule. The device includes at least one heating chamber and a heat shield for curing of the residual epoxy.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a fiber optic cable having a conduit including a conduit wall defining a conduit passage that extends longitudinally through the conduit. The conduit also includes an adhesive injection port defined through the conduit wall and at least one optical fiber within the conduit passage. The cable further includes a fiber lock including an adhesive volume in communication with the adhesive injection port. The adhesive volume includes a main adhesive volume positioned within the conduit passage and bonded to the optical fiber. The main adhesive volume is fixed to prevent longitudinal movement relative to the conduit.
