Abstract
A field termination platform and method for field termination of an optical fiber in an optical fiber connector are provided. The field termination platform includes a base configured to hold the optical fiber connector having a pre-assembled fiber stub. An actuation mechanism is disposed on the base to actuate a splice element of the optical connector and to actuate a buffer clamping portion of the optical connector. A fiber holder is provided to hold the optical fiber in the termination platform during termination.
