Publication number: 20160299299Abstract: An optical plug having an anti-snag guide to prevent the plug from being caught on corners and edges when an attached cable is being pulled around corners and edges during installation and removal of the optical plug. The optical plug includes a unique arrangement of different width apertures corresponding to a removal tool having corresponding different width prongs to be received by the apertures to release the optical plug from an optical receptacle.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2014Publication date: October 13, 2016Applicant: Advanced Fiber Products, LLCInventors: Richard C. E. Durrant, Darren J. M. Adams

Publication number: 20160266335Abstract: A hermetically sealed media converter apparatus configured to operate in harsh high-pressure differential environments, such as deep marine environments, and oil and gas. A hermetically sealed media converter apparatus is provided having a vessel forming an inner chamber that is hermetically sealed from surrounding ambient environment outside the vessel. Media conversion circuitry is contained within the inner chamber. At least one hermetic electrical feedthrough is mounted on the vessel enabling a transmit wire and a receive wire to pass therethrough and connect to the media conversion circuitry, while maintaining the hermetic seal of the inner chamber of the vessel from the surrounding ambient environment. Similarly, a hermetic optical feedthrough also is mounted on the vessel enabling an optical fiber to pass therethrough and connect to the media conversion circuitry, while maintaining the hermetic seal of the inner chamber of the vessel from the surrounding ambient environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2016Publication date: September 15, 2016Applicant: Advanced Fiber Products, LLCInventors: Richard C.E. Durrant, Igor G. Stouklov, Mark C. Benton

Publication number: 20150331196Abstract: Anti-reflective (AR) coating on the back side of the GRIN lens with a specific coating performance to match the index of refraction of fiber glass, such as 1.47, and then to select an index matching resin to join the components with the same index of refraction as the rear AR coated lens and fiber in the ferrule, such as 1.47 again, thus to provide virtually lossless cavity, where n1, n2 and ng are all the same, so reflective loss (RL) is almost infinite and no Fabry Perot effects are observed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2015Publication date: November 19, 2015Applicant: Advanced Fiber Products, LLCInventor: Igor G. Stouklov
