Abstract
An optical fiber connector sub-assembly a ferrule holder configured to hold a ferrule at a front portion of an optical fiber connector, a ferrule housing configured to slidingly receive the ferrule holder and configured to be coupled to an end of a fiber optic cable that includes an optical fiber, and a spring configured to be nonrotatably coupled with the ferrule holder and the ferrule housing. The spring is configured to prevent the ferrule from rotating relative to the end of the fiber optic cable while permitting the ferrule holder to slide axially relative to the ferrule housing, and the spring is configured to reduce a load on the ferrule when a load is applied to the fiber optic cable so as to prevent degradation of a signal being transmitted by the fiber.
