Abstract
A shuttered adapter for a communications connector is formed of two pieces in the form of a retainer and a door. The retainer is formed of plastic and includes facing resilient lips for snap-on attachment to a connector body. A resilient tab and a first hinge portion are integrally formed as features of the retainer during an initial molding process of the retainer. The door is formed of plastic and includes a second hinge portion integrally formed therewith during an initial molding process of the door. The second hinge portion is attached to the first hinge portion to permit the door to pivot relative to the retainer. The resilient tab contacts a top of the door to urge the door into a position covering an opening in the connector for receiving a mating connector.
