Abstract:
A fiber optic connector includes a ferrule assembly at least partially disposed within a connector housing. The ferrules project distally from the connector housing and are biased in the distal direction by a common ferrule spring. Proximal ends of the ferrules and the ferrule spring are disposed within the same interior cavity of the connector housing. In certain examples, no portion of the connector housing extends between ferrule hubs supporting the ferrules.

Claim (Index 12):
An optical fiber connector comprising:\n a connector housing defining an interior cavity; a plurality of ferrules each having a proximal end disposed within the interior cavity and a distal end extending from the connector housing; a plurality of discrete ferrule hubs each disposed at the proximal end of one of the ferrules, wherein the connector housing does not extend between the discrete ferrule hubs; and a ferrule spring surrounding at least a portion of the plurality of ferrule hubs, the plurality of ferrule hubs and the ferrule spring being disposed together within the interior cavity, and the ferrule spring distally biasing each ferrule relative to the connector housing via the respective ferrule hub.
