Abstract:
1. A fiber optic connector assembly comprising: a coupling interface component extending along a center axis from a back end to a coupling end, the coupling interface component including an interior chamber, the coupling end configured to engage a mating connector; a connector housing disposed within the interior chamber of the coupling interface component, the connector housing extending along the center axis from a cable receiving end to a mating end with a passage extending therethrough, the cable receiving end configured to receive a cable having an optical fiber, the mating end configured to mate with the mating connector; and an optical fiber connector joined to the optical fiber and interconnected with the connector housing, the optical fiber connector configured to optically couple the optical fiber with the mating connector, wherein the coupling interface component engages the connector housing and the mating connector and prevents movement of the connector housing relative to the coupling interface component and the mating connector.
