Zusammenfassung:Cable assemblies having a connector with a stable fiber length within the connector and methods for making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a filling material is disposed in the passageway of a fiber optic cable near a first end where the connector is attached for inhibiting the optical fiber from movement adjacent to the first end of the cable. The filling material may be placed into fiber optic cable using any suitable method such as injecting into the end of the cable or forming a window in the cable and inserting the filling material into the window.
