ABSTRACT:
A duplex connector system is provided for coupling two individual simplex fiber optic connectors in a side-by-side alignment. Each fiber optic connector includes a housing in which an optical fiber cable is terminated through a rear end of the housing. First and second strain relief boots are respectively interengageable with the housings of the connectors at the rear ends thereof and encompass the optical fiber cables. Resilient portions interconnect the first and second strain relief boots and are oriented therebetween for enabling the boots to hold the connectors in their side-by-side alignment while allowing relative motion between the connectors during mating and unmating process.
