A splice connector for verifying an acceptable splice termination includes a ferrule having a stub optical fiber, a ferule holder for receiving the ferrule, opposed splice components within the ferrule holder for receiving and aligning the stub optical fiber and a field optical fiber, a cam member for engaging one of the splice components to terminate the field optical fiber, and means for viewing an amount of glow emanating from a termination area. In one embodiment, a splice component and the portion of the ferrule holder disposed between the splice component and the cam member are optically transmissive. The cam member has a first array of wells and a second array of wells for viewing the amount of glow before and after the field optical fiber is terminated. In another embodiment, the ferrule holder is opaque and has a view port, while the cam member has a first well having a first depth and a second well having a second depth.
La présente invention concerne un connecteur bout-à-bout destiné à vérifier un raccordement de joint acceptable, comprenant une ferrule munie d~une fibre optique de liaison, un porte-ferrule qui reçoit la ferrule, des éléments de joint opposés dans le support de ferrule qui reçoivent et alignent la fibre optique de liaison et une fibre optique de champ, un élément de came qui engage l~un des éléments de joint pour raccorder la fibre optique de champ, et un moyen de visualisation d~une quantité de luminescence émanant d~une zone de raccordement. Dans un mode de réalisation, un élément de joint et la partie du support de ferrule disposée entre cet élément et celui de came sont transparents optiquement. L~élément de came comprend un premier et un second réseau de puits pour contrôler la quantité de luminescence avant et après le raccordement de la fibre optique de champ. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le support de ferrule est opaque et comporte un regard, l~élément de came comprenant un premier puits d~une première profondeur et un second puits d~une seconde profondeur.
