Abstract An optical fiber connector includes two plug assemblies each including a cylindrically shaped plug extending from within a cap. An end of each cap is adapted to be secured to a coupling housing to cause the plug which extends from the cap to be received in a sleeve disposed in the housing. An optical fiber cable extends through a cable entrance end of the cap and has an end portion of its optical fiber terminated by the plug. An extender of the cap is secured thereto and extends along the cable a distance to a location where portions thereof are closely adjacent to the cable. Bending forces applied to the cable are transferred at the location to the extender and thence to the cap. This avoids the transfer of those forces to the plug which otherwise could cause the plug to turn pivotally about an interior lip of the cap and result in an optical disconnection of the plug from the other plug in the sleeve.
