ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic connector assembly is adapted for terminating at least one optical fiber of a fiber optic cable. The assembly includes a two-part elongated housing for receiving the fiber optic cable and defining a forward mating end and a rear end. The two parts of the housing extend along a substantial length of the housing through the rear end thereof. A ferrule is disposed within the forward end of the two-part housing for terminating the optical fiber. The two parts of the housing are juxtaposed and are adapted for receiving a crimp ring thereabout at the rear end of the housing. A pair of transversely spaced, complementarily engageable latches are operatively associated between the two housing parts. The pair of latches are disposed inside the outer profile of the housing and straddling opposite sides of the cable.
