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 18):
A system for latching a fiber optic connector to a fiber optic adapter, the system comprising:\n a fiber optic adapter including an adapter body having an outer periphery, the adapter body defining a port leading to an alignment structure, the optical adapter also defining a platform disposed at the first port, the platform being recessed inwardly from the outer periphery of the adapter body, the platform including latching members that extend towards the outer periphery of the adapter body, the latching members having catch surfaces that face away from the first port; and a fiber optic connector including a connector plug body configured to hold an optical fiber, the connector plug body being sized and structured to be received at the port so that a tip of the optical fiber is received at the alignment structure, the fiber optic connector including a latching arm having a latching end that deflects relative to the connector plug body, the latching end defining two rearwardly facing catch surfaces separated by a central webbing that extends along a length of the latching arm, the rearwardly facing catch surfaces being sized and positioned to align with the catch surfaces of the latching members when the fiber optic connector is received at the fiber optic adapter.
