Ultra low profile optical fiber duplex adaptor for modules and circuit packs

Abstract

An optical fiber adaptor assembly including: an adaptor body having an internal side and an external side, where the internal side receives and retains an optical fiber ferrule assembly and the external side is adapted to receive and retain an optical fiber connector assembly, and where the adaptor body is adapted to be disposed through and retained in a cut-out defined by a panel of a module or circuit pack. The internal side of the adaptor body includes an adaptor shoulder that is adapted to be disposed adjacent to an internal side of the panel when the adaptor body is disposed through and retained in the cut-out. The internal side of the adaptor body further includes a ferrule retention clip that is adapted to be coupled to the adaptor shoulder and prevent the ferrule assembly from backing out of a ferrule port defined by the internal side of the adaptor body.
