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.

A connector system, comprising:
- a receptacle having opposing front and rear ends;
- a stroud for receiving a connector, wherein the stroud is configured to be inserted into the receptacle from the rear end;
- a sliding collar disposed around the stroud, the sliding collar being movable in a longitudinal direction along the stroud, the sliding collar having a first, a second and a third groove formed on an outer surface thereof, the first, second and third grooves communicating with each other, wherein the first groove extends in the longitudinal direction;
- and
- a plug housing disposed around the sliding collar, the plug housing including a first pin formed on an inner surface thereof to move in the first groove through the third groove to the second groove,
- wherein a movement of the first pin in the second groove toward the first groove drives the sliding collar to move toward the receptacle when the plug housing is turned.
A dust protector, comprising:
- a dust cap configured to cover a receptacle, the dust cap having a first, a second and a third groove formed on an outer surface thereof, the first, second and third grooves communicating with each other, wherein the first groove extends in a longitudinal direction;
- and
- a plug housing disposed around the dust cap, the plug housing including a first pin formed on an inner surface thereof to move in the first groove through the third groove to the second groove,
- wherein a movement of the first pin in the second groove toward the first groove drives the dust cap to move toward the receptacle in the longitudinal direction when the plug housing is turned.
