Abstract:
A dust cap is adapted to cover an end of a fiber optic connector that includes a release sleeve. The dust cap includes a sleeve with an open end and a closed end, at least one resilient latch, a connector stop, and a sealing face. The dust cap is installed on the fiber optic connector by placing the open end of the sleeve over the end of the fiber optic connector. The resilient latch retains the dust cap on the fiber optic connector by latching to a second end of the release sleeve. The sealing face of the dust cap is adapted to abut a first end of the release sleeve, and the connector stop is adapted to abut a connector body of the fiber optic connector when the dust cap is fully installed.
