Abstract
An optical fiber adapter security, an optical fiber connector security, and a removal tool for use therewith are introduced. The removal tool includes a first body and two second resilient arms. The first body has a first coupling unit. The first coupling unit matches the optical fiber connector security. The second resilient arms are connected to the first body and connected to second coupling units, respectively. The second resilient arms match the optical fiber connector security. The second resilient arms and the second coupling units together match the optical fiber adapter security. The optical fiber adapter security prevents improper use of the optical fiber adapter. The optical fiber connector security prevents inappropriate removal of the optical fiber connector set. Protection provided by the optical fiber adapter security and the optical fiber connector security can be disabled by the same removal tool.
