Abstract

An optical fiber connector mounting assembly mounts an optical fiber connector such that the connector is located outside of a faceplate to facilitate access to an end face of the connector. The mounting assembly secures and protects the optical fiber connector. In one embodiment, the optical fiber connector includes a strain relief boot that allows the connector to be moved within a limited bend radius.
