Pivoting fiber optic cable connection device

摘要

A pivotable cable connection device for a pair of fiber optic connectors includes a carriage and a housing. The carriage includes a body defining a hub pin receiver and an actuator pin slot. A face is connected to the body and defines an opening. The housing is received within the carriage so as to extend through the opening. The housing includes a housing axis and a hub pin. The hub pin is received within the hub pin receiver. Additionally, the housing includes an actuator pin that is received within the actuator pin slot. The housing axis is substantially orthogonal to the face when the actuator pin is positioned in a first end of the actuator pin slot, and is positioned oblique to the face when the actuator pin is positioned in a second end of the actuator pin slot.
