Abstract
A plug frame for an optical connector component comprising a ferrule for receiving an end portion of a core optical fiber of a fiber optic cable and a plug frame for floatingly supporting the ferrule. The plug frame is configured as a one-piece component. This allows reduction of the number of component parts and assembling steps, simplification of the assembling operations and reduction of the manufacturing cost.
