Abstract:
Fiber optic connectors and connectorized fiber optic cables include connector housings having locking portions defined on the connector housing that allow the connector housing to be selectively coupled to a corresponding push-button securing member of a multiport assembly. Methods for selectively connecting a fiber optic connector to, and disconnecting the fiber optic connector from the multiport assemblies allow for connector housings to be forcibly and nondestructively removed from the multiport assembly.

Claim (Index 24):
A multiport assembly comprising:\n a shell defining a cavity positioned within the shell; a plurality of optical adapters positioned within the cavity of the shell, the optical adapters structurally configured to receive, align, and optically couple dissimilar optical connectors; a plurality of optical connector ports comprising respective connection port passageways permitting external optical connectors to access the plurality of optical adapters positioned within the cavity of the shell, the connection port passageways comprising corresponding connector insertion paths; a plurality of rotationally discrete keying portions associated with respective ones of the connection port passageways, wherein each keying portion comprises at least one rotationally discrete contact surface in unobstructed line of sight with an open end of a respective connection port passageway and the at least one rotationally discrete contact surface is structurally configured to inhibit rotation of a connector housing residing in the respective connection port passageway; and a plurality of push-button securing members associated with respective ones of the connection port passageways, wherein\n each push-button securing member is biased in an engaged position, in which a rotationally discrete locking portion of the push-button securing member is positioned within the corresponding connector insertion path, and is selectively positionable into and out of a disengaged position, in which the rotationally discrete locking portion of the push-button securing member is positioned outside the corresponding connector insertion path, \n the rotationally discrete locking portion of each push-button securing member comprises a ramp oriented to progressively constrict the corresponding connector insertion path along an advancing direction of a fiber optic connector in the respective connection port passageway and an locking portion recess obstructed from the open end of the respective connection port passageway by a connector engagement face of the rotationally discrete locking portion of the push-button securing member, and \n the connector engagement face of the rotationally discrete locking portion is structurally configured to inhibit axial movement of a fiber optic connector in the connection port passageway along a retracting direction of a fiber optic connector in the respective connection port passageway.
