Abstract
A very small form-factor (VSFF) fiber-optic connector has two latch assemblies, one on each side of the connector and being non-removable from the connector. The latch assemblies are movable between a forward active position and a rearward inactive position parallel to a longitudinal axis, and when the first latch assembly is in the forward active position, the second latch assembly is in the rearward inactive position for a first polarity configuration of the VSFF fiber-optic connector, and vice-versa for a second polarity configuration of the VSFF fiber-optic connector.
