Abstract
An optical fiber connector system includes a rear connector ( ) comprising a main rear shell ( ) with a plurality of ports ( ) and a plurality of rear module bodies ( ) each lying in one of the ports. A plurality of backshells ( ) extend rearwardly from the rear of the module bodies, with the jackets of multiple fiber cables stripped at a location within each backshell to leave free individual optical fiber devices that extend into passages of the module. Each backshell has a pair of backshell passages ( ) that each holds a backshell fastener ( ) that fastens the backshell to a module body, each backshell fastener having a wrench-receiving passage ( ). Jackscrews ( ) fasten each module body to the shell, and each backshell has a wrench-receiving passage ( ) extending along its length for passing a wrench to screw in and unscrew a jackscrew.
