Abstract: A fiber-optic connector for a cable with an optical fiber. The connector includes a first backpost having an exteriorly threaded forward portion, a rearward portion attachable to the cable, and a central passageway extending therethrough. The connector has a body with a forward portion, an interiorly threaded rearward portion, and a central passageway extending therethrough. The body threads have a pitch diameter and pitch thread which mate with the threads of the first backpost. A second backpost is positioned within the body central passageway, and has a forward portion which holds a ferrule in position, and a rearward portion which extends through a rearward opening in the body and into a forward opening of the first backpost. The second backpost rearward portion and the first backpost central passageway are non-cylindrical to prevent rotation of the second backpost.
