Abstract: A retention and protection device holds one or more envelope attachments to a connector core. The envelope attachment may be removed from the device and installed upon the connector core to convert the connector core into a different type of connector to mate with or within a different style of connector or port. The device is a combination of features including a clasp for attachment to the connector core, such as by residing within a recessed valley of a strain relief boot of the connector core. One or more lanyards may be provided. Each lanyard has a first end attached to the clasp and a second end with a fitting. The fitting is structurally dimensioned to removably hold an envelope attachment and prevent dust from entering one end of the envelope attachment. Once removed from the fitting, the envelope attachment is structurally compatible to attach to the connector core.
