FIBER OPTIC PLUG

A fibre optic plug is provided comprising a fiber optic connector (16) comprising a connector housing (18) and a plug ferrule (20) at least partially disposed within the connector housing and capable of being mounted upon an end portion of at least one optical fiber. The fiber optic connector is an MTRJ connector, SC-DC connector, SC connector, LC connector, or MTP connector. A plug body (14) extends lengthwise between a first end (48) and a second end (50) and has a shroud (56) proximate the first end (48) thereof, wherein the first end is opposed from the second end, the shroud (56) being adjacent a shaft of the plug body and defining at least one opening (58). The shroud extends from a cylindrical portion (54) of the shaft to the first end, the shroud being cylindrical. The plug body also includes a collar (90) disposed upon the shaft (52, 54) such that travel of the collar in the lengthwise direction is limited even though rotation of the collar (90) about a longitudinal axis defined by the shaft is permitted. The fiber optic connector (16) is disposed within the plug body such that the plug ferrule (20) is accessible within the shroud (56) via the first end (48) of the plug body (14).
