Summary:A optical fiber terminator comprising: a cylindrical housing having a through bore that is cylindrical at one end and conical at the other end, a frusto-conical collet mounted inside the conical bore where the collet has a stepped cylindrical through bore with a diameter corresponding to the diameter of an industry standard ST ferrule; and, a means to receive and retain an industry standard ST termination attached to the end of the housing having the conical bore. The housing and collet assembly provide a means for precisely placing the tip of the optical fiber ferrule in both a radial and axial direction to facilitate using standard ST terminations.
