Abstract
Devices such as multiports comprising connection ports with associated rotating actuators that engage securing members and methods for making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the device comprises a shell, at least one connection port, and at least one rotating actuator that engages with a complimentary securing member. The at least one connection port is disposed on the multiport with the at least one connection port comprising an optical connector opening extending from an outer surface of the multiport to a cavity of the multiport and defining a connection port passageway. The at least one securing member is associated with the connection port passageway, and turning the rotating actuators allows the release of an optical connector disposed in the connection port.
