Abstract
An adapter assembly is provided for mounting in an opening in a panel. The assembly includes a permanent housing and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket has latch arms for securing the permanent housing within the panel opening and mating arms for receiving an interchangeable housing to be mated with the permanent housing. A dust cap can be provided to protect the permanent housing when no interchangeable housing is mated to the permanent housing. The dust cap can also be used as a removal tool to remove an interchangeable housing from the permanent housing.
