Abstract

A fiber optic connector (10) includes first (20) and second (22) ferrules arranged next to each other. The first and second ferrules each have a plurality of bores configured to support respective optical fibers. The fiber optic connector (10) also includes an inner connector body (24) having a front end from which the first and second ferrules extend, a latch arm (28) extending outwardly from theinner connector body, and an outer body (32) having a housing portion (34) in which the inner connector body is at least partially received and a handle (36) extending rearwardly from the housing portion. The outer body (32) can move relative to the inner connector body (24) to cause the latch arm (28) to flex toward the inner connector body.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 62 / 389,436, filed February 9, 2016, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to fiber optic connectors, and more particularly to fiber optic connectors that include multiple multi-fiber ferrules, such as MT ferrules. The present disclosure also relates to cable assemblies, systems and methods including such fiber optic connectors. Background technique [0004] Fiber optics and copper wires are used in a wide variety of applications, including the telecommunications industry for data transmission. In a telecommunications system using any of these data transmission elements, there are typically many locations where cables carrying the element are connected to equipment or other cables. Connectors are usually provided on the ends of the cables to facilitate these connect...
