ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connector includes a connector housing having first and second generally parallel, spaced apart first and second faces and at least one generally cylindrical receptacle for removably receiving an optical fiber terminus therein. An optical fiber terminus is located within the receptacle and includes an elongated body with a passage along a central axis for receiving a portion of an optical fiber cable therethrough. The body further includes an indexing section, and a ferrule secured to the body and having an end portion of said optical fiber cable therein. A collar is positioned on the elongated body and has an engagement section for engaging the indexing section. The collar is movable along the axis between first and second operative positions. In the first operative position relative rotational movement between the collar and the body is prevented and in the second operative position the collar may rotate relative to the body. A biasing member is provided to bias the collar towards the first operative position.
