    Abstract: An expanded beam connector has a Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) ferrule (1401); a plastic fiber (1102) to be retained within the MOST ferrule; and, a collimating lens (1103) abutting the fiber (1102 for expanding the optical beam of the fiber wherein the lens and fiber are in alignment to a common optic axis. In one embodiment, the collimating lens (1103) can have a conical cutout configured to aid in aligning the fiber to the common optic axis. In another embodiment, the collimating lens (1103) can have a semicylindrical tab protruding from the rear with a V-groove configured to interact with a flexible feature on the interior of the ferrule to align the fiber to the common optic axis.
