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 23):
The fiber optic connector of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the keying portion of the connector housing extends closer to the front portion of the connector housing than does the locking portion of the connector housing and comprises a pair of rotationally discrete contact surfaces that are accessible without obstruction from the leading edge plane of the connector housing; the locking portion is defined on the outer surface of the connector housing as a cut-out comprising a rearward-facing cut-out surface extending along a portion of a plane intersecting the longitudinal axis of the connector housing at an acute angle \u03b1 1  and a forward cut-out surface intersecting the rearward-facing cut-out surface and extending along a portion of a plane intersecting the longitudinal axis of the connector housing at an angle \u03b1 2  that is larger than the acute angle \u03b1 1 ; each of the rotationally discrete contact surfaces of the keying portion lie in planes that extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connector housing; the keying portion and the locking portion circumscribe respective rotational arcs \u03b8 1 , \u03b8 2  relative to the longitudinal axis of the connector housing; the rotational arcs \u03b8 1 , \u03b8 2  are mutually exclusive such that the keying portion and the locking portion are defined on different surface portions of the outer surface of the connector housing; the rotational arc \u03b8 1  circumscribed by a width of the keying portion relative to the longitudinal axis of the connector housing is less than about 70 degrees; and the rotational arc \u03b8 2  circumscribed by the width of the locking portion relative to the longitudinal axis of the connector housing is greater than about 60 degrees, but does not exceed about 120 degrees.
