ABSTRACT:
A connector for joining light transmitting fiber cable through a cover (14) to a transmitter and/or receiver device (3) comprises a plug connector half (6) comprising a plug (3) and a transceiver adapter (10). The plug (8) has profiled passageway (43) for receiving an optical fiber. The transceiver adapted (10) is an integral two-part structure comprising a transceiver shroud (11) adapted to axially receive the plug (8) and extending axially (38) for forwardly aligning the plug (8) relative to the transmitter and/or receiver device (3). The adapter (10) further comprises a latching beam mechanism (12) having forward extending latching beams (13).
