Abstract
Embodiments of the invention include a hardened connector system. The connector system includes a connector plug for terminating an optical fiber, a plug housing for coupling to the optical fiber cable and the connector plug, and a translator for coupling the plug housing and the connector plug to an optical fiber connector adapter. The translator, which couples the plug housing to a jack receptacle portion of the connector adapter is configured to allow the connector to be decoupled from the connector adapter without damaging the connector adapter, e.g., when the connector system is subjected to relatively excessive cable loads. Also, the dimensions and configuration of the plug housing allow it to be pulled through conventional conduit, including a 90°-bent, 0.75 inch Schedule 40 conduit.
