Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to fiber optic connection systems ( 5 ) including a fiber optic adapter ( 10 ) having shutter assemblies ( 34, 17 ) for obstructing laser beams to protect a person's eyes. The shutter assemblies ( 34, 17 ) are spring biased and pivotally movable between closed and open positions. In certain examples, the shutter assemblies ( 34, 17 ) can include an integrated locking member ( 48 ) that snaps into the fiber optic connectors ( 12, 14 ) to hold/retain the connectors in first and second ports ( 20, 24 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A fiber optic adapter comprising:\n an adapter body having a front end with a first port and an opposite rear end, the first port being configured to receive a first fiber optic connector; a front shutter assembly including first and second front shutter plates, the first and second front shutter plates being rotatably mounted at the front end of the adapter body of the fiber optic adapter each one of the first and second front shutter plates being moveable between a closed position where the first and second front shutter plates cover the first port, and an open position where the first and second front shutter plates are rotated inside of the adapter body of the fiber optic adapter such that the first port is exposed for receiving the first fiber optic connector; and a locking member included on each one of the first and second front shutter plates, each locking member having a retention element on each one of the first and second front shutter plates for engaging a recess on opposite sides of the first fiber optic connector as each one of the first and second front shutter plates are moved from the closed position to the open position so as to lock the first fiber optic connector in place in the first port.
