Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an epoxy tube for an optical fiber connector. The tube can be mounted to a ferrule hub by a snap fit connection. The connection between the tube and the ferrule hub allows for float of the epoxy tube where the epoxy tube is not rigidly attached to the hub. The epoxy tube can be configured to move about an arc of rotational circular movement while remaining linear such that the epoxy tube does not bend or transfer forces to the hub.
