Abstract
A retainer for a connector in cross-connect apparatus for telecommunications systems has a main body portion in which a connector fits, being retained by projections on a wall of the body portion which fit into recesses in the connector. The retainer has spaced pairs of legs at each end which fit over walls of a mounting member. Resilient guides between the legs enter slots in the walls to locate the retainer and a small rib or projection snaps into a hole in the wall to hold the retainer in position. A lid on the retainer snaps over the outer edge of the connector. Sealant is put in the bottom of the main body portion, and in the lid, to envelope the inner and outer edges of the connector and protect the terminal ends and conductors.
