Patent ID: 7802926

Claim:
An optical fiber connection assembly, comprising: a multi-part optical fiber cable connector comprising an optical fiber cable connection end for connection with an optical fiber cable, the fiber optical fiber cable connection end having a body, the body comprising one or more formations and a part connection end, the formations being defined by one or more pairs of substantially flat parallel lands, each pair formed on opposed sides of a generally round body, wherein at least one surface of said formation extends longitudinally; and a mounting having a retainer profiled to retain the multi-part optical fiber cable connector when the optical fiber cable is connected to the optical fiber cable connection end of the body, the retainer being defined by upstanding retaining members that flank the body and laterally align the optical fiber cable connection end with the mounting, the upstanding retaining members are received in the substantially flat parallel lands, and the upstanding retaining members are viewable from a position above the mounting, the formations adapted to co-operate with the retainer to resist rotational and axial movement of the connector when the connector is assembled with an optical fiber cable and the other parts of the connector and mounted in the mounting.
