Abstract

The stop ring of an optical connector is made by molding. The intermediate section of the stop ring is tapered to the front end to provide a satisfactory strength when the rear section of the stop ring is pressed by crimping. The rear section is provided with a knurl having front or sharp edges to provide resistance to separation of the braid of an optical cable.
