ABSTRACT:
An LC connector removal tool has a handle connected to an elongated shank which terminates at first and second spaced fingers. The shank has a channel-shaped cross section including first and second walls connected by a side wall which define a clearance groove between them. The inner, facing surfaces of the fingers have detent grooves that extend across the width of the fingers. The tips of the fingers fit around an LC connector body while one of the fingers overlies the connector's latch or trigger. The upper finger depresses the latch or trigger as the tool slides over the LC connector. The trigger or latch then engages the detent groove. This engagement of the trigger or latch with the detent groove permits the tool to pull the connector out of its adaptor socket.
