Abstract
A connection system includes a connector plug for fiber optic cables. The connector plug has a subassembly comprising a ferrule and a seal sleeve that are attached to a fiber optic cable by one or two crimp rings. One crimp ring fits around an extension of the seal sleeve that fits over a collar of the ferrule. A second connector for fiber optic cables has a subassembly comprising a ferrule and a coil spring that are attached to a fiber optic cable by an attachment member that engages the coil spring at one end and is crimped to the fiber optic cable at the other end.
