Abstract
An optical fiber connector assembly comprises at least one connector having a latching arm for coupling to an adapter, and a remote release tab having a protrusion configured to cooperate with the adapter to depress said latching arm when the remote release tab is pulled relative to the adapter. The optical fiber connector assembly may further be configured to have a deformable region at one end of the pull tab operatively connector to the latch arm assembly for releasing the connector from the adapter.
Claims1
An optical fiber connector assembly comprising:
- at least one connector having a longitudinal axis;
- a latch arm for coupling to an adapter;
- the latch arm extending along the longitudinal axis having a front end portion to a rear end portion;
- the front end portion of the latch arm further comprises a protrusion and the rear end portion defining a gripping tab;
- and
- wherein the protrusion is configured to slide longitudinally along the connector such that the protrusion moves from a point of first contact with the adapter to a second point, and further wherein the second point is no longer in contact with the adapter thereby removing the connector from the adapter.
