ABSTRACT:
A plug connector assembly for fiber optic cables. The connector assembly provides for maintaining an optimal orientation of the fiber optic cables to be connected. In a preferred embodiment, each plug to be used in the connector assembly includes a sleeve having a longitudinal ridge which fits into a groove provided in a ring nut affixed to a plug housing. The invention also provides structure for limiting the torque applied when securing the plug, thus preventing over-tightening and preserving the rotational orientation of the plugs.
