ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an optical fiber connector useful for high density arrays. A locking collar is mounted near the rearward portion of a fiber ferrule. The collar includes tabs which engage holes in the connector sleeve when the ferrule is inserted therein. The fiber can be inserted and removed by a tool which depresses the tabs. Space is conserved since the locking mechanism is located entirely within the sleeve.
