Abstract
A fiber optic connector includes at least one ferrule configured to support at least one optical fiber, an inner connector body having a front end from which the at least one ferrule extends, a latch arm extending outwardly from the inner connector body, and a handle. The handle has a housing portion in which the inner connector body is at least partially received and a grip portion extending rearwardly from the housing portion. The handle can move relative to the inner connector body so that the housing portion can cause the latch arm to flex toward the inner connector body.
