1. A fiber optic adaptor comprising:
a main shell body defining an inner passage that extends in a front-rear direction, and having a first end portion that defines a first opening communicating with said inner passage, and a second end portion that defines a second opening communicating with said inner passage, said first end portion being formed with two engaging grooves that are opposite to each other in a left-right direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction; and
an outer cover removably disposed on and covering said first end portion, and having a cover body portion, two locking clips that protrude from said cover body portion in the front-rear direction and that respectively engage said engaging grooves, and an identifier portion that is disposed on said cover body portion, said locking clips being operable to be removed respectively from said engaging grooves, said cover body portion defining a port outer opening that communicates with said first opening, and a port key portion that communicates with said port outer opening, said port outer opening and said port key portion being arranged in an up-down direction which is perpendicular to the front-rear direction and the left-right direction;
wherein said identifier portion is located at an upper outer side of said port key portion when said outer cover is coupled to said first end portion with said port key portion being over said port outer opening, and said identifier portion is located at a lower outer side of said port key portion when said outer cover is coupled to said first end portion with said port key portion being under said port outer opening;
wherein said first end portion of said main shell body is further formed with a plurality of positioning holes that are disposed around said first opening, and that extend inwardly from an outer end surface thereof in the front-rear direction; and
wherein said outer cover further has a plurality of positioning post portions that extend in the front-rear direction and that are respectively inserted into said positioning holes, and a cross section of each positioning post portion perpendicular to the front-rear direction is substantially L-shaped.
