A strain relief connector for a fiber optic cable has an optical fiber enclosed within a cover having an outer diameter. A relatively long sleeve surrounds the cover and has an inner surface at an inner diameter, the inner diameter being substantially larger than the outer diameter of the cover. Portions of the sleeve and the fiber optic cable are compressed by a die, forming compressed portions having widths substantially larger than their heights and causing the inner surface of the sleeve to frictionally engage the outer surface of the cover layer and the inner surface of the cover to fictionally engage the outer surface of the optical fiber enclosed therein. The length of the sleeve and the configuration of the compressed portion allow a relatively high area of frictional resistance between the buffer layer and the sleeve.

L'invention concerne un raccord de retenue (10) pour câble (24) à fibres optiques pourvu d'une fibre optique (28) enveloppée dans une enveloppe ayant un diamètre extérieur. Un manchon (22) relativement long entoure ladite enveloppe et présente une surface intérieure à un diamètre intérieur, ce dernier étant sensiblement supérieur au diamètre extérieur de l'enveloppe. Des parties du manchon et du câble à fibres optiques sont comprimées par un moule, formant des parties comprimées qui sont sensiblement plus larges que hautes, la surface intérieure du manchon entrant alors en prise par frottement avec la surface extérieure de la couche d'enveloppe et la surface intérieure de l'enveloppe entrant alors en prise par frottement avec la surface extérieure de la fibre optique (28). La longueur du manchon et la configuration de la partie comprimée autorisent une zone relativement élevée de résistance de frottement entre la couche tampon et le manchon.
