FIBER OPTIC CABLE TERMINATION AND METHOD FOR FORMING SAME ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method is disclosed for forming a termination between a fiber optic cable having a centrally positioned optical fiber and a plurality of surrounding reinforcement strands and an outer jacket and a component housing having a tubular extension. In the disclosed method of forming the termination, a portion of the outer jacket is removed to expose a predetermined length of the optical fiber and reinforcement strands. The exposed length of the optical fiber is then inserted through the tubular extension into the component housing and fixed in alignment with an electro-optic component. Thereafter, an adhesive layer is applied over the outer diameter surface of the tubular extension and the reinforcement strands are positioned about the tubular member on the adhesive layer. To complete the termination, a length of a heat-shrink tubing is positioned over the tubular extension and a portion of the jacket remaining on the fiber optic cable and thereafter shrunk so as to force the reinforcement fibers into adhesive engagement with the adhesive layer on the outer diameter surface of the tubular extension.
