Patent ID: 8201322

Claim:
A fiber optic connector tooling device comprising: at least one connector seat, said connector seat being dimensioned and configured to receive a connector, said connector seat having a first end and a second end; at least one cable guide, said cable guide being dimensioned and configured to receive a fiber optic cable, said cable guide having an adjustable horizontal width, said cable guide being disposed at a first end of said connector seat, said cable guide being aligned with said connector seat a horizontal clamping solenoid, said solenoid disposed adjacent said cable guide, said solenoid controlling said width of said cable guide in a horizontal direction to accommodate a width of said fiber optic cable, said solenoid being controlled by an air pressure regulator, said solenoid providing controlled horizontal pressure on said fiber optic cable; and a heating unit cavity, said cavity being disposed at a second end of said connector seat, said cavity designed to releasably hold a hot plate oven, said hot plate oven having a glass lens, said glass being non-malleable, wherein each said connector seat, and said cable guide are perpendicularly aligned with said hot plate oven when disposed in said cavity, whereby when said fiber optic cable is placed through said connector and said fiber optic cable is disposed in said cable guide and said connector is disposed in said connector seat, said fiber optic cable is aligned to said connector being arranged to form a termination lens having optimal optical light conducting properties.
