Abstract:
An optical connector includes a first sub-assembly that is factory-installed to a first end of an optical fiber and a second sub-assembly that is field-installed to the first end of the optical fiber. The optical fiber and first sub-assembly can be routed through a structure (e.g., a building) prior to installation of the second sub-assembly. The second sub-assembly interlocks with the first sub-assembly to inhibit relative axial movement therebetween. Example first sub-assemblies include a ferrule, a hub, and a strain-relief sleeve that mount to an optical fiber. Example second sub-assemblies include a mounting block; and an outer connector housing forming a plug portion.

Claim (Index 3):
The plug connector kit of  claim 2 , further comprising a spring extending between a front and a rear, the rear of the spring being sized and shaped to mount over the first spring stop of the rear housing, the front of the spring being sized and shaped to engage the ferrule hub.
