Dust cap for fiber optic components

摘要: The present invention extends to a dust cap for protecting optical components from end face contamination due external debris and that reduces the potential of itself causing contamination. In one embodiment, includes an elongate housing with peripheral shell, open proximal end, closed distal having predetermined size shape covering component face. also protective portion defining cavity depth position configured so as protect without contacting attachment attaching reduce contaminating when is attached and/or removed component.
