Abstract
A fiber optic cable connector for connecting the terminal ends of two fiber optic cables having termini of respective ones of multiple optical fibers included within said cables. The connector has a termini with a pin body that includes a flat alignment surface at the rear of the main body. The pin body is received in a bore of an insert body. The forward face of the insert body has a shoulder that partially obstructs the bore and aligns with the flat alignment surfaces of the pin body. The shoulder and flat alignment surface cooperate to ensure that the termini is properly inserted into the bore so that an angled forward contact surface of the termini is properly aligned with the angled forward contact surface of a mating termini of another connector.
