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 13):
A connectorized fiber optic cable comprising:\n a ferrule comprising an optical fiber bore; and a connector housing comprising:\n a ferrule retaining portion positioned at a front portion of the connector housing, the ferrule retaining portion engaged with the ferrule; \n a longitudinal axis extending from the front portion of the connector housing, through the ferrule retaining portion and the optical fiber bore of the ferrule to a rear portion of the connector housing positioned opposite the front portion; \n a nominal housing portion defined on an outer surface of the connector housing; and \n a locking portion defined on the outer surface of the connector housing and interrupting the nominal housing portion, wherein\n the locking portion comprises a port engagement face that extends inward from the nominal housing portion of the connector housing toward the longitudinal axis and that is oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis, and the locking portion further comprises a locking portion recess positioned rearward of the port engagement face and inward of the nominal housing portion of the connector housing, and \n the locking portion recess is oriented transverse to the port engagement face and comprises a planar surface extending across at least a portion of the outer surface of the connector housing; and \n \n a fiber optic cable comprising an optical fiber extending along the longitudinal axis of the connector housing to the optical fiber bore of the ferrule.
