摘要 |
The invention relates to a fiber optical connector including a housing with an axial passageway forming a longitudinal axis between a mating side and a rear side of said housing. A ferrule for fixating at least one optical fiber is disposed in said passageway, said ferrule having a front part, associated with said mating side of said housing, and a back part, associate with said rear side of said housing. The ferrule is arranged in said housing such that said back part of said ferrule is permitted to move transversely (D) to said longitudinal axis (L) to a larger extent than said front part. Accordingly, a fiber optical connector with a floating ferrule is obtained that has an improved installation performance, in particular with regard to decreasing the probability of damaging the ferrule.
