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.
