Abstract
Fiber optic connectors, connector assemblies, and associated methods having tuning features and aspects. The tuning features/aspects allow for a tuning mechanism of a rear housing to be moved axially between an anti-rotation region and a tuning chamber defined by a front housing. The rear housing is rotationally coupled to a ferrule assembly for tuning an optical fiber terminated at the ferrule assembly.
