<p>A connector (100) for optical fibers comprising a coupler (110) designed to affix an optical component. A cable mounting structure is designed to retain an optical cable and to retain a terminating ferrule in an optical alignment with the optical component. A distance between a front face of the termination ferrule (140, 240) and a tail end of the cable mounting structure is about 1.648. An adjuster (120, 220) is coupled in a fixed axial relationship with the coupler. An axial relative displacement between the cable mounting structure and the optical component is adjustable by relative rotation of the cable mounting structure and adjuster (120). The length of the adjuster is about 0.415'. The cable mounting structure bears a shoulder unitarily formed with a threaded component of the cable mounting structure effective as a limit stop of to limit relative movement of the adjuster. A chassis (250, 252), in a stable axial relationship with the coupler (110), defines a channel within which the cable mounting structure is laterally and anti-rotationally stabilized. The chassis (250, 252) has two primary parts unitized by an interference fit. A spring (170) urges the adjuster directly, without an intervening thrust asher, on a non-rotating surface of the chassis. A threaded locknut (380) is designed to jam relative rotation of the cable mounting structure and adjuster to secure a position of relative rotation of the cable mounting structure and adjuster.</p> |
