ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic connector having a slotted housing has an interior ribbed member projecting through the housing slot. A dust cap is rotatably fixed to the housing to prevent rotation while a tool slides a locking member over the housing slot to force the ribbed member inwards, centering optical fibers. A portion of the connector is factory built so that users need use no epoxies or curing devices.
