Abstract:
A dust cover includes a frame shaped to circumscribe an end of a first connector configured to receive a second connector. The connectors can transmit a signal when coupled. A plurality of segments is rotatably coupled to the frame. The frame includes an opening sized to accommodate the second connector. The segments are operable between an open position and closed position. Each segment includes a flexible material and each segment is positioned around the opening and is coupled to the frame at a pivot point. The segments are shaped to cover the opening in the closed position and to expose at least a portion of the opening in the open position. An actuator is rotatably coupled to each segment. Movement of the actuator in a first direction moves the segments to the open position and movement of the actuator in a second direction moves the segments to a closed position.
