Abstract
Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to fiber optic connectors with features that help eliminate the potential of a capillary effect or epoxy wicking. The fiber optic connector may include an epoxy tube with segments that define a pocket in an area that helps to prevent capillary action between components that are otherwise closely positioned.
