ABSTRACT:
An interchangeable multi-channel hermaphroditic fiber optic connector (10) for cables (12), having different numbers of optical fibers (18) and contacts (22) therefor, comprises a connector shell (34) having a specifically configured interior surface (38) and a plurality of inserts (26) each having an exterior surface (36) which is configured substantially as the connector shell's interior surface. This substantially similar configuration permits interchangeable insertion of any of the inserts within the connector shell. The inserts have different numbers of cavities (28) in order to accommodate any number of optical fibers and their contacts, without needing to change the entire connector structure. A strain relief (62, 64, 66, 100) is coupled to the inserts, and an uncoupling prevention mechanism (104, 108) is housed about the strain relief and the insert to isolate turning moments exerted by a nut (124) on the exterior of the connector from being exerted on, and from uncoupling the internally secured members (26, 62, 64, 66).
