Abstract
The connector system of the present invention includes a crimp housing and a floating block. A passage extending in a longitudinal direction is formed in the crimp housing. The floating block is disposed in the passage of the crimp housing and has an interior passage extending in the longitudinal direction for receiving a back post of a connector. The floating block may make limited three-dimensional movements with respect to the crimp housing. The connectors seated in the connector system of the present invention may be independently moved with respect to each other thereby properly aligning with an adapter.

2-3. (canceled)
A connector system, comprising:
- a shroud;
- a connector having a rear end;
- a crimp housing disposed in the shroud to receive the rear end of the connector;
- and
- a first fork portion and a second fork portion, each extending from one of the shroud and the crimp housing in a longitudinal direction, wherein
- the first and second fork portions are disposed opposite to each other,
- a notch is formed on the first fork portion, the notch divides the first fork portion into a first partial fork portion and a second partial fork portion, and the first partial fork portion is longer than the second partial fork portion in the longitudinal direction, and
