Summary:A fiber optic connector (102) has a fiber optic connector shutter (110) that rotates about a first axis and an adapter (104) for the fiber optic connector also has an adapter shutter (112) that rotates about a second axis in the adapter. When the fiber optic connector and the adapter are mated to one another, the axes for the fiber optic connector shutter and the adapter shutter are aligned and the fiber optic connector shutter and the adapter shutter rotate about a single axis. When the fiber optic connector shutter and the adapter shutter are adjacent to one another they have space where dust and debris captured during insertion and removal of the fiber optic connector from the adapter.
