Abstract:
Methods and systems for a optical fiber connector locking clip are disclosed and may include operatively coupling an optical fiber connector to an optical fiber adaptor by inserting the optical fiber connector into the optical fiber adaptor, where the optical fiber connector comprises an optical fiber connector pull-to-release housing. The optical fiber connector may be secured to the optical fiber adaptor by placing an optical fiber locking clip adjacent to the optical fiber connector pull-to-release housing, thereby preventing the optical fiber connector pull-to-release housing from being actuated. An optical cable may be coupled to the optical fiber connector. The adaptor may be coupled to an optical device, which may include an optical transceiver. The optical fiber locking clip may be plastic or metal. The optical fiber connector and the optical fiber connector pull-to-release housing may be plastic.

Claim (Index 15):
A system for communication, the system comprising:\n an optical fiber adaptor; an optical fiber; an optical fiber connector having an optical fiber connector pull-to-release housing, the optical fiber connector coupled to the optical fiber; and a single plastic C-shaped optical fiber locking clip, the optical fiber connector being operable to be inserted into the optical fiber adaptor and the plastic locking clip being coupled around a portion of an outer surface of the optical fiber connector adjacent to the optical fiber connector pull-to-release housing once the optical fiber connector is coupled to the optical fiber adaptor, thereby preventing the optical fiber connector pull-to-release housing from being actuated.
