Abstract:
An optical connector is provided having a ferrule configured to house one or more optical fibers. An inner housing is provided to hold the ferrule and has a distal end in a connection direction and a proximal end in a cable direction. An outer housing at least partially surrounds the inner housing. One or more resilient forward biasing projections extend from one or more of the outer housing or the inner housing for biasing the outer housing towards the distal end of the inner housing. The resilient forward biasing projection may be integrally formed with either the inner housing or with the outer housing.

Claim (Index 16):
The optical connector of  claim 1 , further comprising a polarity-changing key slidably retained on a surface of the inner housing, the polarity-changing key including an aperture cooperating with a deformable inner housing projection to retain the polarity-changing key on the inner housing.
