Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to fiber optic connection systems ( 5 ) including a fiber optic adapter ( 10 ) having shutter assemblies ( 34, 17 ) for obstructing laser beams to protect a person's eyes. The shutter assemblies ( 34, 17 ) are spring biased and pivotally movable between closed and open positions. In certain examples, the shutter assemblies ( 34, 17 ) can include an integrated locking member ( 48 ) that snaps into the fiber optic connectors ( 12, 14 ) to hold/retain the connectors in first and second ports ( 20, 24 ).

Claim (Index 13):
A fiber optic connection system comprising:\n first and second fiber optic connectors each including:\n a connector body having a first end and an opposite second end; \n an optical fiber that extends through the connector body from the second end, the optical fiber having front end portions accessible at the first end; \n a fiber optic adapter having an adapter body for coupling the first and second fiber optic connectors together such that optical signals can be conveyed between optical fibers of the first and second fiber optic connectors, the adapter body having a front end with a first port and an opposite rear end with a second port, the first and second ports being configured to respectively receive the first and second fiber optic connectors; and front and rear shutter assemblies respectively mounted at the front and rear ends, the front and rear shutter assemblies each including first and second shutter plates movable between an open position as the first and second fiber optic connectors are inserted into respective first and second ports and a closed position as the first and second fiber optic connectors are removed from respective first and second ports; wherein in the closed position, the front and rear shutter assemblies cover the first and second ports respectively and in the open position the front and rear shutter assemblies expose the first and second ports for respectively receiving the first and second fiber optic connectors.
