Abstract of the Disclosure A connector (100) for terminating a cable (30) comprising a buffered optical fiber (21, 31) surrounded by filamentary strength members (33) and an outer jacket (35) comprises a spring-loaded ferrule/barrel assembly (110/140), a unipartite cap (150) and a crimping sleeve (160). The unipartite cap comprises a one-piece structure having a connector end that mates with a twist-and-lock coupling apparatus, and is adapted to cooperate with the crimping sleeve to capture filamentary strength members contained within the cable at a cable-entrance end. The crimping sleeve has a first cylindrical portion (163) which surrounds the cable-entrance end of the cap, and a second cylindrical portion (164), whose diameter is smaller than the first cylindrical portion, and is adapted to engage the outer jacket of the cable when crimped. A rigid sheath tube (180) surrounds the buffered fiber within the cable so that it is not damaged during crimping, and is free to move back and forth within the cable.
