Abstract:
Methods of forming a ferrule are disclosed where the ferrule includes an inner member and an outer member. An optical fiber is secured in an axial bore of the inner member, and then offset of a core of the optical fiber from a geometric center of the inner member is determined. The outer member is then formed over the inner member to “correct” for this offset so that the core of the optical fiber ends up closer to the geometric center of the resulting ferrule. Related ferrules and cable assemblies including the same are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein securing the optical fiber in the axial bore of the inner member comprises:\n inserting the optical fiber into the axial bore; depositing adhesive material in the axial bore before or after inserting the optical fiber into the axial bore, wherein the adhesive material occupies space between the optical fiber and the axial bore after said inserting; heating the adhesive material before or after said depositing to make the adhesive material flowable; and curing the adhesive material.
