Publication number: 20060169856Abstract: A fiber optic adapter or adapter assembly including a pair of clip arms extending from opposite sides. The clip arms include an angled outer surface and sides of a housing of the adapter include opposing flanges, the clips arms and the flanges cooperating to releasably hold the adapter to a mounting location. The clip arms each including an angled outer surface which engages sides at the mounting location to hold the adapter at the mounting location. Pulling on a first end of the adapter to remove it from the mounting location causes the sides to engage the angled outer surface of the clip arms and permit the adapter to be removed from the mounting location toward the first end.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2005Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: James Dorenkamp, Jennifer Miller, Todd Bade
