ABSTRACT:
An optic fiber connector includes a self-contained optical fiber cartridge (12), that can be easily inserted into a passageway (16) of a connector housing (14), and easily removed and replaced, without exposing the coil spring (52) that urges the terminus forwardly. The cartridge includes a frame (20) that completely encircles the spring in all terminus positions and that also surrounds much of the terminus.
