Abstract
A duplex fiber optic connector assembly suitable for polarity reversal includes first and second fiber optic connector subassemblies received by a primary housing that in turn is received by a latch housing. The primary housing is configured to be releasably engaged with the latch housing in either an upwardly-facing or downwardly-facing configuration (e.g., the latch housing is repositionable) for polarity reversal, and the primary housing may be removed from the latch housing by movement of the primary housing in a rearward direction. A manually actuatable engagement feature of the primary housing is configured to be received by a receiving feature of the latch housing. A manually actuatable latch mechanism of the latch housing is configured to permit releasable engagement with a fiber optic adapter housing separate from the duplex fiber optic connector assembly.
