Abstract
A method of polishing an optical fiber connector comprises providing a unitary connector housing defining an interior containing a first ferrule and a second ferrule, each ferrule having an angle-polished end face and being located in an original rotational position, the unitary connector housing comprising a perimeter wall extending 360° about the interior, first and second ferrule springs biasing the first and second ferrules forward in the interior of the unitary housing, the unitary connector housing having a contiguous two-ferrule opening through a front end of the unitary connector housing, each of the first and second ferrules extending through the contiguous two-ferrule opening such that the first and second ferrules protrude forwardly from the front end of the unitary connector housing; and using a tool to rotate the first ferrule in the housing about a longitudinal axis while the second ferrule remains in the original rotational position.
