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 18):
A fiber optic connector and cable assembly comprising:\n a cable including a plurality of optical fibers; and an optical fiber connector terminating an end of the cable, the optical fiber connector including:\n a connector housing defining an interior cavity; and \n a ferrule assembly disposed at least partially within the connector housing, the ferrule assembly comprising:\n a plurality of ferrules extending along the longitudinal axis, each of the ferrules terminating one of the optical fibers, each of the ferrules having a distal end that extends from the connector housing; \n a plurality of ferrule hubs, each ferrule hub being discrete and disposed at a proximate end of a respective one of the ferrules; and \n a ferrule spring surrounding at least a portion of the plurality of ferrule hubs and a plurality of the optical fibers of the cable; \n \n wherein the plurality of ferrule hubs and the ferrule spring are disposed together within the interior cavity, and the ferrule spring biases each ferrule along the longitudinal axis relative to the connector housing via each ferrule hub.
