ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber duplex connector assembly wherein two individual optical fiber connectors are positioned and retained within a common housing, such that relative freedom of movement between the two connectors within the common housing facilitates positioning of the retained two connectors within a suitable receiving common housing (e.g., shroud). Such movement accomodates for manufacturing tolerances within the housing and/or connectors while still assuring successful insertion. A housing, having two chambers (one for each connector) and a cover assures the defined movable connector positioning while also providing effective retention. A boot may be attached to the housing to accomodate for severe bends and turns of the optical fiber cable, without loss of attenuation.
