An optical fiber connector includes a connector housing having first and
second generally parallel, spaced apart first and second faces and at
least one generally cylindrical receptacle for removably receiving an
optical fiber terminus therein. An optical fiber terminus is located
within the receptacle and includes an elongated body with a passage along
a central axis for receiving a portion of an optical fiber cable
therethrough. The body further includes an indexing section, and a
ferrule secured to the body and having an end portion of said optical
fiber cable therein. A collar is positioned on the elongated body and has
an engagement section for engaging the indexing section. The collar is
movable along the axis between first and second operative positions. In
the first operative position relative rotational movement between the
collar and the body is prevented and in the second operative position the
collar may rotate relative to the body. A biasing member is provided to
bias the collar towards the first operative position.
