Abstract
A fiber optic connector assembly includes a connector housing defining locking portion defined, an adapter assembly selectively coupled to the connector housing, the adapter assembly including a conversion housing extending around the connector housing and defining a conversion retention member that is positionable between an engaged position, in which the conversion retention member restricts movement of the connector housing with respect to the adapter assembly in an axial direction, and a disengaged position, in which the connector housing is movable with respect to the adapter assembly in the axial direction, and a release housing positioned between the conversion housing and the connector housing, the release housing defining a release front end positionable at least partially within the conversion housing, and a release face selectively engageable with the conversion retention member and configured to move the conversion retention member from the engaged position to the disengaged position.
