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 1):
An optical fiber connector comprising:\n a connector housing having a longitudinal axis extending between a distal end of the connector housing and a proximal end of the connector housing, the connector housing defining an interior cavity; and a ferrule assembly coupled to the connector housing, the ferrule assembly including:\n a plurality of ferrules extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, each ferrule of the plurality of ferrules extending between respective proximal and distal ends, the proximal ends of the ferrules being disposed within the interior cavity, the distal ends of the ferrules being accessible at the distal end of the connector housing, the plurality of ferrules being movable relative to the connector housing along a respective insertion axis that is parallel with the longitudinal axis; and \n a ferrule spring disposed within the interior cavity, the ferrule spring biasing the plurality of ferrules in a distal direction relative to the connector housing, the proximal movement of the plurality of ferrules being against the bias of the ferrule spring.
