To provide a new optical fiber module attachment or a connector for an optical fiber component.
The module attachment or the connector (10) has a crimp assembly (14, 18) and a fiber crimp tube (20) disposed therein. The tube is crimped or otherwise fixedly attached to the core of the optical fiber component or an optical fiber cable (16). The fiber crimp tube has a shoulder (30) fixedly captured within the crimp assembly, such that the core of the optical fiber component does not exhibit movement relative to the connector. According to another aspect, the module attachment has a fiber crimp tube (50) provided with at least one shoulder (54) thereon. The tube is crimped or otherwise fixedly attached to the core of a cable (60). The shoulder is fixedly received in receiving ports on an optical device. A heat shrink tube (62) is optionally provided to connect an end of the tubular body to the cable to minimize the bend radius.
