Patent number: 8075198Abstract: A connector assembly for reversibly terminating an optical fiber comprises a housing having a cavity extending along a longitudinal axis. An elongate member having a groove extending along a surface thereof is provided within the cavity. An end portion of the fiber is aligned with a fiber stub within the groove such that the stub's splicing face is positioned opposite the fiber's splicing face. A splice anvil is mounted about the member with the anvil's clamping surface overlapping the abutting stub and fiber splicing faces. The clamping mechanism comprises step surfaces arranged along the member's surface adjacent the groove. When the anvil is moved from the released position to the clamped position, the anvil's inner surface is moved along the step surfaces in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis towards the groove, the anvil's clamping surface bringing a clamping force to bear on the abutting fiber and fiber stub.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2009Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Belden CDT (Canada) Inc.Inventors: Luc Milette, Moise Levy

Patent number: 7811006Abstract: A connector for reversibly terminating a cable comprising a buffer cladding surrounding an optical fiber wherein an end portion of the cable is exposed to reveal the optical fiber. The connector comprises a clamping assembly comprising a splice anvil comprising a fiber clamping surface positioned facing a member surface and overlapping a stub splicing face and an optical fiber splicing face. The clamping assembly is adapted for opening by applying a tangential force to the splice anvil, illustratively through engaging an actuating boss with a tool inserted through the opening and applying a force to the actuating boss such that the clamping surface is moved away from the member surface against a spring.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2009Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Belden CD (Canada) Inc.Inventors: Luc Milette, Moise Levy, Yannick Demers
