Abstract:
A push-pull type fiber optic connector assembly includes a fiber optic connector connectable to fiber optic adapter and including connector housing, latch having elastic arm extended from top of connector housing for locking connector housing to fiber optic adapter, recessed portion located at bottom side relative to latch, pressure rod extended from recessed portion, fiber ferrule mounted in cable passage inside connector housing, connector sub assembly mounted in connector housing to hold fiber ferrule and fiber optic cable having fiber core inserted through fiber ferrule, and operating handle including sliding cap movably capped on connector housing, push member having push arm forwardly extended from sliding cap, cam located at one side of push arm and inserted into recessed portion of fiber optic connector, and handle shaft extended from sliding cap to pull sliding cap backwards in forcing down wedge-shaped pressure rod for disengaging fiber optic connector from fiber optic adapter.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of disconnecting a fiber optic connector from a fiber optic to a fiber optic adapter, the method comprising:\n providing a fiber optic connector assembly comprising:\n a connector housing defining a cable passage extending through opposing front and rear ends of the connector housing; \n a latch comprising an elastic arm extending upwardly from a top surface of the connector housing in a rearward direction from the front end of the connector housing and a pressure rod extending in a rearward direction away from a rear side of the elastic arm; \n a handle movably coupled to the connector housing, wherein the handle comprises a push arm, a cam, and a handle shaft, the pressure rod comprises a pushing surface disposed at a front side of the pressure rod, the push arm is laterally offset relative to the pressure rod of the latch, the cam is located at a lateral side of the push arm and configured to contact the pushing surface of the pressure rod, and the handle shaft extends backwardly in an opposite direction from the push arm and is configured to pull the handle backwards to engage the pressure rod; and \n an operating handle comprising a rectangular sliding cap defining a receptacle chamber; \n retracting the handle shaft relative to the connector housing to force the cam against the pushing surface of the pressure rod and disengage the fiber optic connector from the fiber optic adapter; and removing the fiber optic connector from the fiber optic connector.
