Abstract:
A fiber optic connector assembly includes a connector and a carrier. The connector has first and second ends and a terminated fiber. The fiber defines a first end adjacent the first end of the connector and a second end protruding out of the second end of the connector. A carrier having a connector end and an opposite cable end is engaged with the connector. An alignment structure on the carrier includes a first end, a second end, and a throughhole and also a cutaway extending perpendicularly to and communicating with the throughhole. The fiber is positioned within at least a portion of the throughhole with the second end located within the cutaway. A window is within the cutaway over the second end of the fiber for visually inspecting the alignment of the second end of the fiber with an end of another fiber.

Claim (Index 4):
A fiber optic connector assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the window includes a cutaway portion located over the second end of the first optical fiber terminated to the fiber optic connector, the cutaway portion configured to accommodate for space for an index matching gel to flow when the second end of the first optical fiber is brought in contact with the end of the second optical fiber.
