Abstract:
A fiber optic adapter includes an adapter body defining a port leading to an alignment structure. The optical adapter also defines a platform disposed at the first port. The platform is recessed inwardly from an outer periphery of the adapter body. The platform includes latching members having catch surfaces. A fiber optic connector includes a connector plug body holding an optical fiber. The connector also includes a latching arm having a latching end that defines two rearwardly facing catch surfaces separated by a central webbing, which extends along a length of the latching arm. The rearwardly facing catch surfaces align with the catch surfaces of the latching members when the fiber optic connector is received at the fiber optic adapter.

Claim (Index 1):
A fiber optic connector comprising:\n a connector plug body including a front end positioned opposite from a rear end, wherein the front end of the connector body is configured to provide access to an end of an optical fiber that extends through the connector body; and a latch arm for securing the connector plug body to a corresponding fiber optic adapter, the latch arm being connected to the plug body at a flexible pivot location that allows the latch arm to be pivoted relative to the connector plug body between a latching position and a release position, the latch arm including a beam having an actuation portion that extends rearwardly from the flexible pivot location and a latching portion that extends forwardly from the flexible pivot location, the latching portion having a narrowed central portion that extends in a rear-to-front direction at least partially between the flexible pivot location and a latching end of the latching portion, the beam defining first and second lateral recesses on opposite first and second sides of the narrowed central portion, the latching end of the latch portion including first and second catches positioned respectively at the first and second opposite sides of narrowed central portion, the first and second catches respectively including first and second rearwardly facing catch surfaces defining forward ends of the first and second lateral recesses.
