ABSTRACT:
A connector for optical fibers comprising a plug assembly and a first ferrule mounted coaxially therein, a receptacle assembly and a second ferrule mounted coaxially therein, wherein at least one of the plug-mounted ferrule and the receptacle-mounted ferrule is biased outwardly from a fiber-entry end of the ferrule. An alignment sleeve optically connects the ferrules and maintains the optical connection during translation of one of the plug assembly and the receptacle assembly in a longitudinal direction relative to the other.
