A fiber optic connector assembly has an MT connector. The MT connector has a housing. A first slot is formed in a front surface of the housing. The first slot extends across a width of the front surface of the housing and partially down a length of the housing. A pair of slots is formed in a rear surface of the housing. The pair of slots extends across a width of the rear surface of the housing and partially down the length of the housing. An aperture is formed through a side surface of the housing and between the pair of slots. The aperture extends completely through the housing. An opening is formed in a central area of the rear surface of the housing and in communication with the aperture. A channel is formed between the first slot and the aperture connecting the first slot to the aperture. At least one securing pin is formed within the first slot.
