    Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a fiber optic connector including a connector body defining a central longitudinal axis that extends in a front-to-rear orientation. The connector body can include a front connector housing piece and a rear connector housing piece that may be aligned along the central longitudinal axis. A front end of the rear connector housing piece can be adapted to connect with a rear plug end of the front connector housing piece. The rear end of the rear connector housing piece can include a unitary fiber bend radius limiting structure. The unitary fiber bend radius limiting structure can be generally funnel-shaped. A ferrule assembly can be captured between the front and rear connector housing pieces with the rear connector housing piece functioning as a rear spring stop.

    Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to an enclosure (20) that can include first and second housing pieces (22, 24) that cooperate to define an enclosed interior (26) of the enclosure (20). The first and second housing pieces (22, 24) mate at an interface (28) that extends about a continuous sealing loop (30). The enclosure (20) may include a seal (44) that extends about the continuous sealing loop (30) of the enclosure (20) at the interface (28) between the first and second housing pieces (22, 24). The seal (44) can include a retention portion (46) positioned within a channel (36) of the first housing piece (22) and a sealing flap (48) connected to the retention portion (46). The second housing piece (24) may include an outer flange (50) that extends about the continuous sealing loop (30) of the enclosure (20). The sealing flap (48) of the seal (44) can be compressed between the outer flange (50) and a rim element (32) of the enclosure (20).
