    Abstract: A behind-the-wall optical connector having an outer housing configured to be inserted into an adapter with a corresponding inner surface, and a latch attached to one side of housing configured to lock the connecter into an adapter opening. The latch is further configured with a locking channel and guide to accept a pull tab with a catch at one end, the pull tab releases the connector from the adapter opening when the tab is pulled rearward or away from the adapter. The ferrule assembly is inserted into a first end of the housing and when latched to the adapter, the assembly is retained in the housing without any locking structure therein.

    Abstract: A multi-polarity fiber optic adapter is configured to provide a plurality of connector polarity options. The adapter includes a housing and a plurality of ports, each port configured to receive and establish an optical connection with a ferrule of a fiber optic connector. The adapter further includes a plurality of first-polarity connector clip assemblies positioned within the housing such that, when the fiber optic connector is inserted into the adapter in a first position, the fiber optic connector is engaged with the first-polarity connector clip assemblies, thereby establishing a first-polarity connection. The adapter also includes a plurality of second-polarity connector clip assemblies positioned within the housing such that, when the fiber optic connector is inserted into the adapter in a second position, the fiber optic connector is engaged with the plurality of second-polarity connector clip assemblies, thereby establishing a second-polarity connection.
