Abstract

See full text

A fiber optic connector assembly includes a housing and an adapter mountable on the housing. A fiber optic connector is insertable into the adapter in an insertion direction. First complementary latches are provided between the adapter and the housing to restrict relative movement therebetween in the insertion direction but allow relative movement therebetween in a lateral direction. Second complementary latches are provided between the adapter and the fiber optic connector to couple the connector to the adapter for movement therewith. A release is provided on the fiber optic connector operatively associated with the first latches to disengage the first latches when the second latches are engaged and, thereby, remove the restriction on the relative movement of the adapter in the insertion direction.
