  • Optical fiber connector module
    Patent number: 6186670
    Abstract: An optical fiber connector module for mating optical fiber connectors includes a covering which avoids particles, dust or debris from accumulating on the end face of a fiber connector installed in the module when the installed fiber connector is not mated to another fiber connector using an optical fiber adapter. The module also allows ease of cleaning of the end face of the fiber of the unmated, installed fiber connector without removal of the module from a panel of optical instrumentation equipment to which the module has been mounted. A locking flange on the module facilitates mounting of the module to the equipment.
