Patent ID: 7052188

Claim:
An optical fiber assembly kit comprising: a ferrule assembly having at least one bore hole to receive an optical fiber and a first contact surface; a positioning member having a second contact surface comprising key protrusions, and an aperture adapted to receive said ferrule assembly, wherein said first contact surface and said aperture are configured to form a first interface in which a first radial position relationship between said ferrule assembly and said positioning member is maintained, said first interface being an interference fit such that said first radial position relationship is adjustable in increments less than a quarter rotation; and a housing having a substantially square cross section and an interior cavity adapted for receiving said positioning member and said ferrule assembly, said housing and said second surface of said positioning member are configured to form a second interface such that said key protrusions seat at diametrically opposed corners of said housing to maintain a second radial position relationship between said positioning member and said housing, said second radial position relationship being predetermined.
