Fiberoptic connector and adapter assembly (10) includes a fiberoptic connector (12) received within an adapter (14). The connector has a cover (66) on the connector housing (50). The cover pivots between open and closed positions to expose or cover, respectively, an optical fiber (60) contained within the connector. Longitudinal guides (64) of the connector are received cooperating with longitudinal guides (42,42') of the adapter to direct the connector into the adapter in a prescribed alignment. A cam pin (46) is carried on the adapter to engage a cam pin receiving slot (68) on the cover to urge the cover to the open position as the connector is inserted into the adapter. <IMAGE> |
