Abstract
An extraction apparatus for being mounted on, and for selectively removing, a fiber optic connector component from a panel or a wall. The extraction apparatus includes a spring compression mechanism having a first compression member for selectively compressing a first retaining spring of the fiber optic connector component, a second compression member for selectively compressing a second retaining spring of the fiber optic connector component, and an actuator member for selectively moving the first and second compression members into contact with the first and second retaining springs such that the first and second retaining springs are compressed by the first and second compression members to permit removal of the connector component from the opening in the panel. The actuator member is disposed so as to extend through the opening in the panel as the connector component is positioned in the opening.
