摘要

A connector and method for assembling a connector. The connector (20) includes a ferrule (48) that is retainably engaged within a hub (44). The connector further includes a rear housing (26) and a front housing (24). The front housing is sized to receive and rotationally retain the hub. The front housing has a bore that receives and engages the exterior surface of a rear housing. The front and rear housing include engagement members (80,82) that allow the rear housing to be retained within the front housing. A grip housing (92) slideably mounts to the front housing. A boot (28) mounts to the rear housing and terminates before the grip. An inner passage of the rear housing includes a flared passage adjacent to the hub.
