Multiports and other devices having optical connection ports with rotating actuators pivotly mounted and methods of making the same

A multiport for making an optical connection, comprising:

• a shell comprising at least one pivot mounting feature;
• at least one connection port disposed on the multiport with the at least one connection port comprising an optical connector opening extending from an outer surface of the multiport into a cavity of the multiport and defining a connection port passageway along a longitudinal axis;
• at least one modular adapter sub-assembly disposed within the shell;
• at least one securing member being associated with the connection port passageway, wherein the at least one securing member is capable of translating in a direction that is transverse to the longitudinal axis;
• and
• at least one rotating actuator, wherein the at least one rotating actuator engages with the at least one securing member and is pivotly mounted to a portion of the shell, thereby allowing the at least one rotating actuator to rotate about a pivot.
