Abstract of the Disclosure Fiber optic connector apparatus and methods and apparatus for applying the fiber optic connector apparatus to the fiber optic cable is provided in accordance with the teachings of the instant invention. The fiber optic connector apparatus includes a metallic nose piece having a first apertured end portion for butting optical fibers exposed at the aperture and a second apertured end portion for receiving the fiber optic cable. An application device for holding the nose piece in alignment with cable to be attached is provided to heat the nose piece to a temperature to cause protective sheathing on the cable to flow. Upon melting, an end portion of the cable to be attached is biased against the second apertured end portion to cause it to be displaced into the nose piece at the protective sheathing begins to flow to expose optical fibers at the first end portion and, upon cooling, maintain the portion of the cable within the nose piece in a compressed, adhered condition. In an exemplary embodiment, ferrule means and a threaded body may then be fit front and back about the nose piece, cable junction and a nut may then be secured thereover to ensure the mechanical integrity of the applied connector apparatus.
