Multiport assemblies comprising one or more optical ports for receiving an external optical fiber connector for making an optical connection along with useful mounting features for securing the multiport assembly are disclosed. The multiport assembly comprises a mounting member having an aperture and a standoff that is coupled to a shell. The standoff extends outward from a lower surface of the shell to allow easy mounting to irregular surfaces. In another embodiment, the multiport assembly may comprise a second mounting member with an aperture and standoff that is received in a rear shell aperture to inhibit damage to the multiport assembly if a fastener is over-tightened during mounting. In further embodiments, the multiport assembly may comprise a dust plug having a locking feature and a keying port that is received in an optical port for inhibiting dirt, dust or debris from entering when the optical port is not in use.
