Abstract
An embodiment includes a cable connector that includes a connector housing, a fiber support structure, and a latch structure. The connector housing defines a housing cavity. The fiber support structure is attached to the connector housing and extends therefrom in a first direction. The fiber support structure defines a fiber cavity configured to receive a fiber subassembly. The latch structure is attached to the connector housing at a first end and extends therefrom in the first direction. The latch structure is separated in a second direction from the fiber support structure and includes a ramped surface at a second end. The ramped surface displaces the latch structure in a direction opposite the second direction in response to a force in a direction opposite the first direction and does not include a release structure configured to disengage the latch structure from latch tabs of a communication module.
