Abstract
An optical fiber shutter adapter including a housing having a bay and a bay opening for receiving a second connector. The optical fiber shutter adapter further includes a door disposed near the bay opening and having a blocking portion for blocking laser radiation from being emitted from the bay opening when the door is in a closed position. The door is connected to the housing for movement from the closed position to an open position for allowing the second connector to be received into the bay for connection to the shutter adapter. The blocking portion of the door moves into the adapter housing when the door is moved from the closed position towards the open position.
