    Abstract: An optical connector assembly a first structure and a second structure, the two structures secured together using a retention structure to form a hybrid assembly. The retention structure uses a slot apex located in a slot channel for securing at least one latch pin of a coupling nut to an adapter housing forming the ingress protected connector without the use of a bias spring. The hybrid assembly is designed to resist water or debris ingress, and may eliminate the use of a bias force to further resist separating the hybrid assembly. When the latch pin passes over the apex and resides in a recess, an audible sound is made indicating the hybrid assembly adapter and coupling nut is mated.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of using a multiport assembly and associated components are disclosed. The multiport assembly can include a multiport device that communicatively couples multiple sets or pairs of connectors, such as optical connectors or electrical connectors, together. The multiport assembly can also include an auxiliary port device that couples to the multiport device to expand the capacity of the multiport assembly. Both the multiport and auxiliary port devices can be selectively configured to receive specific types of connectors by selectively coupling to different types of adapters, where the types of adapters correspond to the types of connectors. When coupled to the multiport or auxiliary port devices, the adapters facilitate the formation of the communication between its corresponding set of connectors.

    Abstract: A fiber optic connector terminates a drop cable. A connector housing can include a back post where the drop cable to enters the housing. A cable clamp insert is least partially received in the back post. The cable clamp insert defines a passage for receiving the drop cable. A crimp ring is crimped onto the back post to secure the cable clamp insert to the housing and clamp the cable clamp insert onto the drop cable. Fiber optic connectors can also have a cable clamp insert and a cable clamp retainer that couples to the rear end portion of the housing whereby the cable clamp retainer pushes the cable clamp insert forward in the housing and applies an increasing force to create a tight connection between the housing and the cable clamp insert.
