Abstract
A number of fiber optic connectors are held by a connector clip that positions the fiber optic connectors so that the connectors can only be inserted into a corresponding number of receiving connectors in one way. In addition, the connector clip can only be assembled in one way to prevent the connectors from being improperly positioned within the connector clip.
