The present invention is directed to aspects of optical fiber connector [100] for terminating an optical fiber cable [111] containing a buffered fiber [108]. The connector comprises a housing [102] having a front and rear orientation. The connector also includes an anchor [101] at the rear of the housing. The anchor comprises exterior threads [104] and a collet [112] and defines at least a first passage [106] configured to receive the buffered fiber. The connector also includes a nut [103] having internal threads [105] that is adapted for threaded engagement with the anchor, where the nut and collet cooperate to define an interference portion [301] in which the nut deflects the collect inward to constrict the first passage as the nut is threaded onto the anchor. |
