Abstract:
A fiber optic connector with a rotatable connection member for converting the connector from a first polarity to a second polarity, and a manipulator assembly comprising a tab member and a locking member movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, the manipulator assembly being coupled to the connection member such that the manipulator assembly and the connection member rotate conjointly about the axis of rotation, and when in locked position connector polarity cannot be changed.

Claim (Index 16):
An optical fiber connector comprising:\n a housing having a front end portion and a rear end portion, the housing being configured to receive a ferrule therein such that the ferrule is exposed through the front end portion of the housing for making an optical connection in a receiver; a connection member that is configured to lockingly engage a locking element of the receiver to lock the optical fiber connector into the receiver, the connection member being rotatably coupled to the housing for rotation with respect to the housing about an axis of rotation from a first polarity orientation to a second polarity orientation; and a manipulator assembly comprising a tab member having a second locking member and a first locking member movable relative to the tab member, and the second locking member is configured to lockingly connect the first locking element to the tab member between a locked position and an unlocked position, the manipulator assembly being coupled to the connection member such that the manipulator assembly and the connection member rotate conjointly about the axis of rotation; and wherein the manipulator assembly further comprises a hinge that pivotably connects first locking member of the manipulator assembly to the tab member such that the first locking member pivots relative to the tab member about a hinge axis HA\u2032 between the locked and unlocked positions, the hinge along hinge axis HA\u2032 is oriented generally parallel to the an axis of rotation A along connector.
