Fiber optic connector, fiber optic connector and cable assembly, and methods for manufacturing

Some example methods of connectorizing an end of an optical cable include providing the ferrule assembly including a ferrule, a stub optical fiber extending rearwardly from the ferrule, and a flange disposed about the ferrule; splicing the stub optical fiber to an optical fiber of the optical cable at a splice location; and overmolding a rear hub portion (e.g., without any protective layers disposed between the rear hub portion and the stub optical fiber and optical fiber of the optical cable) using an adhesive material. The flange may include Nylon 6, 6. Splicing the fibers may include pulling the fibers away from each other during splicing without separating the fibers. 使光缆的端部连接化的些示例性的方法包括提供包括插芯、从插芯向后延伸的梢头光纤和围绕插芯设置的法兰的插芯组件；在接合位置处将梢头光纤接合至光缆的光纤；并且采用粘合剂材料二次成型后毂部(例如在不在后毂部与梢头光纤和光缆的光纤之间设置任何保护层的情况下)。该法兰可包括尼龙6，6。接合该光纤可包括在接合过程中在不分离光纤的情况下将光纤彼此远离地拉离。
