Abstract
A fiber optic connector includes a housing and a locking member. The housing has a longitudinal passage extending between a first opening at a first end of the housing and a second opening at a second end of the housing, the housing sized to fit within a fiber optic receptacle. The locking member is a separate part from the housing and is sized to fit within a retaining notch in the fiber optic receptacle. The locking member, when secured to the housing and located in the retaining notch, interfaces with the retaining notch to prevent separation of the housing from the receptacle.
