A fiber optic connector comprising: a distal housing defining a proximal interior portion and a distal interior portion , the distal housing defining an interior keying region , the distal housing defining slots with proximal open ends; a proximal housing having a proximal portion and a distal portion, the distal portion sized to fit within the proximal interior portion of the distal housing ; a ferrule hub disposed within the proximal interior portion of the distal housing and within the distal portion of the proximal housing , the ferrule hub including a first keyed portion, a second portion , and a spring support portion, the first keyed portion mating with the keying region of the distal housing ; a spring mounted over the spring support portion of the ferrule hub , the spring abutting an interior spring stop defined by the proximal housing ; wherein: the proximal housing includes tabs or latches that fit within the slots of the distal housing to retain the proximal housing at the distal housing ; the fiber optic connector further comprises: a keying member mounted to the second portion of the ferrule hub in a rotationally fixed position, the keying member being rotationally fixed relative to the proximal housing , the keying member being engaged with the proximal housing so as to enable limited travel of the keying member relative to the proximal housing ; and the spring biases the ferrule hub distally relative to the proximal housing so that a shoulder of a proximal stop member engages an abutment member . a distal housing defining a proximal interior portion and a distal interior portion , the distal housing defining an interior keying region , the distal housing defining slots with proximal open ends; a proximal housing having a proximal portion and a distal portion, the distal portion sized to fit within the proximal interior portion of the distal housing ; a ferrule hub disposed within the proximal interior portion of the distal housing and within the distal portion of the proximal housing , the ferrule hub including a first keyed portion, a second portion , and a spring support portion, the first keyed portion mating with the keying region of the distal housing ; a spring mounted over the spring support portion of the ferrule hub , the spring abutting an interior spring stop defined by the proximal housing ; wherein: the proximal housing includes tabs or latches that fit within the slots of the distal housing to retain the proximal housing at the distal housing ; the fiber optic connector further comprises: a keying member mounted to the second portion of the ferrule hub in a rotationally fixed position, the keying member being rotationally fixed relative to the proximal housing , the keying member being engaged with the proximal housing so as to enable limited travel of the keying member relative to the proximal housing ; and the spring biases the ferrule hub distally relative to the proximal housing so that a shoulder of a proximal stop member engages an abutment member . a keying member mounted to the second portion of the ferrule hub in a rotationally fixed position, the keying member being rotationally fixed relative to the proximal housing , the keying member being engaged with the proximal housing so as to enable limited travel of the keying member relative to the proximal housing ; and the spring biases the ferrule hub distally relative to the proximal housing so that a shoulder of a proximal stop member engages an abutment member . <EOS>
