ABSTRACT:
A flexible flap, having an elastic memory, which flap is used to normally cover a lightwave connector so as to prevent laser radiation emissions from the connector. The flexible nature of the flap allows the forcible deflection thereof, so that a mating connector can be attached to the normally covered one, and yet when the mating connector is removed the flap will automatically return to the covering position. In addition to preventing the emission of laser radiations, the flap can reduce contamination materials, such as dust, from covering the end of the fiber optic material.
