<p>A fiber optic connector sleeve (10) includes a sleeve housing (14) defining a lengthwise extending passageway (16) and a number of positioning ribs (20) extending lengthwise through the passageway (16) for engaging a fiber optic connector (12) and for positioning the fiber optic connector (12) within the fiber optic connector sleeve. For a sleeve housing (14) defining a passageway (16) having a number of corners in lateral cross-section, the positioning ribs (20) are generally located in respective corners of the passageway in order to engage corresponding corner portions of the fiber optic connector (12) . Additionally, the interior sidewalls (22) of the sleeve housing (14) that extend between the positioning ribs are typically recessed relative to the positioning ribs (20) so as to provide clearance during the insertion of the fiber optic connector (12) into the fiber optic connector sleeve. Moreover, the recessed interior sidewalls (22) of the sleeve housing (14) can be tapered in a lengthwise extending direction to facilitate molding of the fiber optic connector sleeve (10). <IMAGE></p> |
