Multi-polarity fiber optic connector having a duplex cable boot assembly
Abstract:
A multi-polarity fiber optic connector is configured to provide a plurality of connector polarity options. Two LC connectors are grouped together using a duplex cable boot assembly which is secured over a backpost extending from a plug frame of each LC connector. Each LC connector has a release latch attached to the outer surface of the plug frame. A dual release latch has a hook that secures the dual release latch to the duplex cable boot. The dual latch release is configured to depress each LC connector latch release together. To change the duplex LC connector from a first polarity to a second polarity, a user pulls on one of the two cable boots that makes up the duplex cable boot assembly and then rotates each LC connector housing, or the user pulls on the dual latch release and then rotates each LC connector housing. User rotates each LC connector housing 180 degrees about a longitudinal axis of the LC connector to change the connector polarity from a first polarity to a second polarity where the first polarity is opposite the second polarity.
