Connector housing for securing an optical cable and methods of use and manufacture thereof

摘要

Various connector housings for securing an optical cable, as well as methods of use and manufacture thereof are disclosed. A single-piece unitary connector housing body may include a first opening formed in a first end of the housing body, a second opening formed in a second end of the housing body, a bore through the housing body extending from the first opening to the second opening, and a back post surrounding the second opening. The first opening may be configured to receive a terminating optical cable and the second opening may be configured to receive a fiber optic cable. The back post may extend from the second opening in a longitudinal direction and may include a plurality of protrusions thereon. A length of the back post may have a concave shape.
