Abstract
An optical fiber connector for external connection to a telecommunications enclosure is described herein. The optical fiber connector has an assembly base having a first end and a second end, an optical connection portion disposed partially within the first end of the assembly base and a strain relief assembly disposed on the second end of the assembly base. The assembly base includes a body portion and a release portion which defines a release mechanism that causes the release portion to move relative to the body portion. The release portion includes at least one cam that is configured to release or disengage the at least one latch element when the release portion moves with respect to the body portion so that the optical fiber connector can be removed from the port of the telecommunication enclosure.
