Abstract
A field assembly kit for use in assembling an optical connector may include a first component that includes a first plurality of pairs of opposing tabs configured to frictionally maintain a first subassembly component at a first fixed position relative to the first component. The kit may include a second component that includes a second plurality of pairs of opposing tabs configured to maintain a second subassembly component at a second fixed position relative to the first component. The first subassembly component may be configured to couple to the second subassembly component to maintain an optical fiber in a fixed rotational position relative to the first subassembly component and the second subassembly component.
