  • Attenuator for fiber optic cables
    Patent number: 6466728
    Abstract: An attenuator on which a fiber optic cable is loopable in a plurality of different configurations to provide incremental attenuation of light signals internally of the cable. The attenuator includes a base having a pair of spaced-apart spools around which a cable is looped in variable configurations to provide variable degrees of attenuation. Cable guide recesses are provided on the base outwardly of the spools, and hollow securing/stacking bosses extend upwardly from the base adjacent its ends.
    Type: Grant

  • Splice tray for use in splicing fiber optic cables and housing therefor
    Patent number: 6427045
    Abstract: A splice tray for use in splicing fiber optic cables has an outer periphery and a cable splicing area inwardly of the outer periphery. A main cable guideway for receiving a pair of side-by-side cables to be spliced extends along a portion of the outer periphery adjacent thereto. The main cable guideway splits into first and second continuation guideways, the first of which curves inwardly from the outer periphery to intersection with the splicing area from one direction. The second continuation guideway continues along another portion of the outer periphery to intersection with the splicing area from another direction. The two fiber optic cables that extend along the main guideway are separated to extend through the first and second continuation guideways to the splicing area for being joined together in a splice. A cable looping device is provided in the splicing area for receiving cable loops to take up slack, and a splice receiving recess is provided in the splice area for holding a splice.

  • Apparatus and method for combining two separate RF signals on a single optical fiber with monitoring and alarm capabilities
    Patent number: 6366712
    Abstract: Apparatus for combining an RF signal at one frequency band and carried by a selected nominal wavelength of light with a RF signal at a different and separate frequency band and carried by another source of light having the selected nominal wavelength onto a signal optical fiber.
