1. A communications device comprising:

  • a circuit board arrangement including a first landing pad and a second landing pad;

    an optical adapter defining a first port and an oppositely facing second port, the first and second ports being aligned along a connector insertion axis, the optical adapter being configured to retain a respective fiber optic connector at each of the first and second ports, the optical adapter also defining an opening separate from the first and second ports, the opening being aligned with the first port; and

    a media reading interface disposed at the opening of the optical adapter, the media reading interface having a first contact surface configured to engage the first landing pad of the circuit board arrangement through the opening, a second contact surface extending into the optical adapter, and a third contact surface configured to selectively engage the second landing pad of the circuit board arrangement through the opening, the second contact surface being flexible between an undeflected position and a deflected position, wherein the second contact surface is fully disposed within the optical adapter in both the undeflected position and the deflected position.
