ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber terminus includes an elongated body with a passage along a central axis for receiving a portion of an optical fiber cable therethrough and an indexing section. A ferrule is secured to the body and has 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.
