A connector adapter and dust cover therefor are pivotably connected by means of a pivot pin on the adapter and pivot arms on the dust cover whose distal ends engage the pivot pin. The pivot pin has a cam member located intermediate its ends, and the dust cover has a spring arm between the pivot arms whose distal end engages the cam member. In the closed position, the distal end of the spring arm engages the cam below its high point. In the fully open position, the distal end of the spring arm engages the cam beyond its high point. In both positions, the spring arm bears against the cam to resist dislodgment of the dust cover from either position.
