Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A fiber optic connector that includes a connector body comprising a ferrule retaining portion, a pusher engagement portion and a body cable passage extending through the pusher engagement portion and the ferrule retaining portion. The connector includes a ferrule assembly structurally configured to be retained by the ferrule retaining portion with an optical fiber bore of the ferrule assembly in alignment with the body cable passage. The connector includes a pusher structurally configured to axially engage the pusher engagement portion with a pusher cable passage in alignment with the body cable passage, and a collapsing cantilevered gasket structurally configured to form an axially compressed sealing interface between the connector body and the pusher and an omnidirectionally compressed sealing interface between the gasket and a cable passing through a cable passage of the gasket.
