ABSTRACT:
An receptacle is provided for receiving a fiber optic connector along an optic axis. The receptacle includes a housing having an open end for receiving the fiber optic connector. A pair of shutter members are pivotally mounted on the housing at opposite sides of the open end of the housing for pivotal movement toward and away from each other to close and open the open end. The shutter members extend across the optic axis when the shutter members are closed. The shutter members are pivotable away from the optic axis upon engagement by the inserted fiber optic connector. A metal shell member is disposed about at least a portion of the housing. A latch is mounted on the housing for latchingly engaging a fiber optic connector. The shell member includes a spring portion for spring-loading the latch.
