摘要

A dust for use with a ruggedized fiber optic connector including a fiber optic adapter. The dust plug provides enhanced sealing for the ruggedized connector when an optical fiber cable is not attached. The dust plug engages the ruggedized connector in a manner similar to a mating fiber connector which may be mounted to a fiber optic cable. The dust plug may include a threaded cap and a keyed insert rotatably mounted to the insert.
