Abstract
A clip device includes a clip detachably holding an outer housing of a fiber optic connector and having a front engaging portion that is detachably sleeved on the outer housing and that abuts against a protrusion member of the outer housing, and a rear abutting portion that abuts against lateral shoulder faces of the outer housing. A gripping handle extends from the rear abutting portion of the clip. A rearward removal force applied to the gripping handle is transmitted to the protrusion member of the outer housing to facilitate removal of the fiber optic connector. A frontward insertion force applied to the gripping handle is transmitted to the lateral shoulder faces of the outer housing to facilitate insertion of the fiber optic connector.
