<p>A fanout connector assembly is provided for fiber optic cables (28) each including a plurality of optical fibers (30). The assembly includes at least two fanout connectors (20) each having a housing (22,24) with a passage (34) for receiving a fiber optic cable along an axis (36). A fanout member (26) in the housing spreads the individual optical fibers of the cable transversely of the axis. Complementary interengaging stacking members (56,70,62) on the housings of the two connectors align and hold the connectors in stacked relationship with one connector on top of the other connector. An individual connector (20) includes a base housing (22) and a cover (24) with complementary interengaging strain relief members (58,74) and complementary interengaging latch members (60,76) therebetween. The strain relief members and the latch members are respectively interengaged automatically in response to mounting the cover (24) on the base housing (22), but the strain relief members (58,74) are at least partially interengaged prior to interengagement of the latch members (60,76). <IMAGE></p> |
