Abstract: In a fiber optic connection system, an adapter has an expandable wall portion that snaps onto a connector and latches with a latch knob of the connector housing. A lock and an extractor are disposed on the connector housing. During insertion, the extractor is in a forward position as the connector housing is inserted into the adapter. The adapter moves the lock backward relative to the housing and extractor, toward an unlocking position, until the adapter snaps onto the latch knob. Then the lock returns to the locking position to lock the connector to the adapter. To extracts the connector, the extractor is pulled backward. This moves the lock backward to unlock the connector from the adapter. Further pulling unlatches the adapter from the latch knob by expanding the expandable wall portion and extracts the connector.

Abstract: An optical fiber connector with a housing configured to hold a plurality of optical fiber ferrules is selectively reconfigurable between a first configuration and a second configuration different from the first configuration. The housing can have different widths in the first and second configurations. The ferrules can have different ferrule arrangements in the first and second configurations. The optical fiber connector can be mateable with different types of receptacles in the first and second configurations. Reconfiguration can be achieved by disconnecting a rear housing from a plurality of front housings at first set of attachment points, rotating the rear housing 180° in relation to the front housings, and attaching the rear housing to the front housings at the second set of attachment points.

Abstract: Reversible polarity fiber optic connectors are provided having housings at least partially surrounding first and second optical ferrules with walls above and beneath the ferrules. Positioning removable elements such as latches, removable arms, or push-pull tabs on the first wall above the ferrules yields fiber optic connectors with a first polarity type, and positioning the removable elements on the second wall beneath the ferrules yields fiber optic connectors with a second, opposite polarity type. Various engagement mechanisms are provided on either the connector housing walls or on the removable elements, or both, to assist in affixing the removable element to the connector housing.
