Abstract
A multi-fiber optical connector system including a first and a second multi-fiber connector configured to mate with one another. The multi-fiber connectors include a connector body having a front end and a rear end, a multi-fiber ferrule having a face accessible at the front end of the connector body and a spring for biasing the multi-fiber ferrule in a forward direction relative to the connector body. The spring is configured so that the first and second ferrule rotate with one another or do not rotate when the ferrule is biased forward.
