Abstract
A fiber optic cable connecter assembly includes a terminal wall having a port, an adapter at the port having one end for mating with a first fiber optic cable at the front of the wall and a second end for mating with a second cable at the back, and a spacer having an axial bore and a leading portion for engaging the port in sealing relationship. A cap has an axial bore, and a leading portion for engaging a rear portion of the spacer. A cable grommet/boot has a passage for receiving the first cable, and a leading end for engaging the rear portion of the spacer in sealing relationship. The rear portion of the grommet/boot protrudes from the back of the cap to act as a boot when the cap engages the spacer, after the first cable is connected to the adapter and the spacer engages the port.
