ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic drawer connector assembly comprises an insert having an inner cavity for the insertion of an optical lens assembly and an associated ferrule fiber holder. The insert is at least partially surrounded by a shroud and the shroud in turn positioned in the interior of a housing so that a flange at the end of the shroud comes into abutment with a stopping member at one end of the housing. The housing, as well as subassemblies enclosed thereby, is designed to be inserted into and through an aperture in a wall until an intermediate flange extending from the exterior surface of the housing comes into contact with a surface on one side of the wall. A cap is threaded over an open end of the housing and into abutment with an insert flange. Springs are provided so that the insert is maintained in secure relationship to the housing and shroud and so that the lens and ferrule are secure within the insert.
