Publication number: 20200271861Abstract: An apparatus for processing a fiber optic cable includes a housing having an inlet for receiving an end of the fiber optic cable. A stripping module is in the housing and configured to remove an end section of an outer jacket of the cable to provide exposed portions of strength members and at least one optical fiber. The apparatus further includes a trimming module in the housing that is configured to remove an end section of the exposed portions of strength members. A method is also disclosed where the stripping and trimming operations for a fiber optic cable are performed by the same apparatus and within the same housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2019Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: Chois Alven Blackwell, JR., Carl Randall Harrison, Chanh Cuong Vo

Publication number: 20160139344Abstract: A fiber optic connector comprises a ferrule extending along a longitudinal axis, a ferrule holder having a body in which the ferrule is received and at least one arm extending from the body, and a housing having a passage in which the ferrule holder is received. The passage is shaped to accommodate insertion of the ferrule holder from a front end of the housing, and the housing further includes at least one retention member that cooperates with the at least one arm to retain the ferrule holder in the housing. The at least one arm is configured to flex toward and away from an outer surface of the body to provide a snap-fit coupling between the ferrule holder and housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2016Publication date: May 19, 2016Inventors: Cesar Alejandro de los Santos Campos, Benjamin Cuauhtemoc Linares Rios, Louis Edward Parkman, III, Thomas Theuerkorn, Chanh Cuong Vo

Patent number: 9291773Abstract: Apparatus and methods for stripping tight-buffered optical fibers are disclosed. The methods include removing a portion of the buffer layer and thin-coating layer to expose the bare fiber at the optical fiber end, wherein the cuts to the optical fiber needed to strip the optical fiber are made simultaneously. In some methods, a portion of the cover is used to clean the bare fiber as the cover portion is removed. In other methods, the normal force that secures the cover is alleviated so that the cover portion can be removed without breaking the bare fiber. Different apparatus configured to effectuate the stripping methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2013Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Corning Cable Systems LLCInventors: Carl Randall Harrison, Gregory Earl McMinn, Brett Allen Menke, Chanh Cuong Vo

Patent number: 7974063Abstract: A hybrid surge protector for a network interface device (NID) is disclosed. The hybrid surge protector includes a fail-safe spring connected to the ground electrode of a three-electrode gas tube. Tabs on the fail-safe spring are held away from the gas-tube end electrodes by a fusible element. The hybrid surge protector also includes metal-oxide varistor elements (“MOVs”) in contact with the gas-tube end electrodes and with the ground electrode via an MOV spring. This arrangement provides for two initial paths to ground-one path from the gas-tube end electrodes to the ground electrode through the gas tube, and another from the gas-tube end electrodes to the ground electrode through the MOVs and the MOV spring. The dominant path to ground starts as the MOV ground path but switches to the gas-tube path as the gas tube becomes activated. Another path to ground via the fail-safe spring is also available should the gas tube overheat.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2007Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Corning Cable Systems, LLCInventors: Chanh Cuong Vo, Boyd Grant Brower, Carl Randall Harrison, John Joseph Napiorkowski, Rodger Alan Tenholder, Sean Matthew Arnold
