A safety shutter module adapted to fit onto a standard fiber-optics connector which terminates a transmission line conveying light signals of high intensity to be received by an adapter when it is coupled to the connector. When decoupled, these light signals leak from the front end of the connector

A safety shutter module adapted to fit onto a standard fiber-optics connector which terminates a transmission line conveying light signals of high intensity to be received by an adapter when it is coupled to the connector. When decoupled, these light signals leak from the front end of the connector and are radiated therefrom. This radiation is hazardous to the eyes of individuals exposed thereto. The module is composed of a cap that fits onto the connector and is provided with a visor that projects beyond the front end, the visor having a hinged shutter plate that depends therefrom to block the radiation. But when the adapter is plugged into the connector, it then acts to swing the shutter plate upwardly against the visor to admit the adapter and unblock the connector.
