ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Means for and method of properly positioning optical fibers with respect to the connectors, for optically coupling fiber optic cables wherein the cable includes an outer coating and an inner fiber core. A terminal member is provided which includes a body having a through hole extending axially there- through. The through hole has a first portion extending through a forward mating end of the terminal member, and is sized to snugly receive a length of the fiber core to properly position the core with respect to the mating end of the terminal member, The through hole has a second portion rearwardly of the first portion which is sized sufficiently larger than the outer coating of the fiber optic cable to accommodate any eccentricity between the fiber core and the coating. The outer coating is fixedly secured within the second portion of the through hole. The part of the terminal member containing the first portion of the through hole, and the core therein, is then removed to leave the remainder of the fiber core properly positioned.
