Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to ferrule-less fiber optic connectors, systems, and methods for enhancing the physical contact or connection interface between a first plurality of optical fibers and a second plurality of optical fibers after a cleaving process. The present disclosure is directed at ensuring proper alignment and performance of mated optical fibers by controlling the orientation of major flared sides relative to a connector keying feature.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to connector ports with shutters configured to inhibit dust intrusion by including peripheral regions that oppose undercut portions of the connector port when the shutter is closed. The present disclosure also relates to fiber optic connectors having latching configurations with double latches for retaining the fiber optic connectors in connector ports. The present disclosure also relates to a fiber optic connector including a plurality of stacked fiber carrier modules. The present disclosure also relates to a fiber optic connector including a connector body and a rear connector piece that is secured to the connector body by a snap-fit connection. The rear connector piece can be configured for attachment to a fiber optic cable. The rear connector piece can be secured to the connector body by a snap-fit connection. The rear connector piece can have a snap-fit interface compatible with a number of different styles or types of connector bodies to promote manufacturing efficiency.
