Summary:An optical sub-assembly includes an optical adapter with a main body that defines an internal chamber disposed between a front side and a rear side. The internal chamber includes a rear internal chamber with a sleeve section and a rear body section. A connector is disposed within the rear internal chamber. The connector includes a ferrule, a ferrule holder and a rear body. A sleeve holding the ferrule and an optical fiber extending into the ferrule are included. The ferrule extends from the ferrule holder and the sleeve is disposed over the ferrule with an interference fit such that the ferrule, ferrule holder and sleeve form an integrated part. The sleeve is disposed in the sleeve section of the rear internal chamber of the main body with an interference fit such that the ferrule, ferrule holder, sleeve and rear body position and align the optical fiber within the optical adapter.
