The shutter members extend across the optic axis when the shutter members are closed. The shutter members are pivotable away from the optic axis upon engagement by the inserted fiber optic connector. A metal shell member is disposed about at least a portion of the housing. A latch is mounted on the housing for latchingly engaging a fiber optic connector.
