Abstract

A fiber optic connector includes a ferrule assembly having a fiber within a ferrule. The ferrule is received within a hub held in a barrel. An inner spring urges the ferrule and hub outwardly from the barrel. A nut is movably attached to the barrel. An outer spring biases the barrel toward a connector end of a housing.
