ABSTRACT:
An adapter assembly is provided for mating an optical fiber along an optic axis with an associated fiber optic transmission device. The adapter assembly includes a body having an end face for mating with the associated fiber optic transmission device, the end face of the body traversing the optic axis. A movable protective shield is adapted for attachment to the body to cover the end face thereof and prevent ingress of contamination thereinto and to protect operator's eyes. The shield includes a diverting surface in alignment with the optic axis to prevent light energy transmitted by the optical fiber from being reflected back toward the fiber.
