   Those connectors usually can't be disassembled.

   Proper cables, though, with any connectors commonly used for FDDI 
(MIC, SC, and ST) are always on eBay for cheap, though.  Don't fuck 
with it...just get the right cables.  Fiber is a pain in the ass to 
deal with yourself unless you have a good termination kit, which 
usually cost thousands of dollars.
