ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic coupling device that securely holds a ferrule of a fiber optic cable in alignment with an optical interface of a fiber optic transceiver (FOT) device. Included is a guide member that has one or more guide channels and which is inserted into a connector body. A ferrule residing in one of the guide channels is prevented from moving forward in the guide channel due to the guide member engaging a shoulder on the ferrule. Similarly, the ferrule is prevented from moving backwards in the guide channel due to the connector body engaging the shoulder of the ferrule.
