ABSTRACT:
An environmental protection housing for an optical fiber connector having two housing parts to define an environmentally protected chamber to house the connector. The housing is for use for housing a connector upon suspended cable. So as to prevent the weight of the cable being taken by the connector when the housing parts are separated, a movement limiting device is provided an which extends between the housing members. This movement limiting device comprises an elongate rigid member which is capable of preventing relative rotation or change in relative orientation of the housing parts while the rigid member extends between the housing parts. With the connector uncoupled and thus the danger of the loading of the cable being taken upon the connector in coupled condition, the connector is releasable from one or both of the housing parts.
