Claim Text:
1. A fiber optic connector and cable assembly comprising: a fiber optic connector including a connector housing having a distal end and a proximal end; a fiber optic cable including a cable jacket surrounding at least one optical fiber, the fiber optic cable also including at least one strength structure being formed by at least one strength member for providing tensile reinforcement to the fiber optic cable, the at least one optical fiber extending through a fiber passage of the fiber optic connector from the proximal end of the connector housing to the distal end of the connector housing; and the at least one optical fiber being anchored at an anchoring location positioned within the fiber optic cable, the anchoring location being spaced from the proximal end of the connector housing, the at least one optical fiber being anchored to at least one of the cable jacket and the at least one strength structure to prevent axial movement of the at least one optical fiber relative to at least one of the cable jacket and the at least one strength structure at the anchoring location.
