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.
