Patent number: 6885800Abstract: A method is provided for cross-connecting individual optical fibers of a plurality of fiber optic ribbons and includes the steps of providing first and second substrates having adhesive thereon. Individual optical fibers are routed on the substrates to form at least portions of fiber optic input ribbons and fiber optic output ribbons, with the fibers extending beyond the substrates to define input and output tails. One substrate is positioned on top of another substrate, and a ribbonizing apparatus is used to gather the input and output tails in ribbon form whereupon they can be coated to hold the tails in their ribbon form.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2004Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Maurice X. Sun, Sammy Ali, Igor Grois

Patent number: 6873773Abstract: A method of cross-connecting or reorganizing individual optical fibers of a plurality of fiber optic ribbons include the steps of providing a substrate having an adhesive thereon with a mixing zone within the boundaries thereof. A plurality of individual optical fibers are routed onto the substrate to form a plurality of fiber optic input ribbons, reorganizing the fibers in the mixing zone, and forming a plurality of fiber optic output ribbons. At least some of the output ribbons have fibers from more than one of the input ribbons. The input and output ribbons are coated on the substrate outside the mixing zone to hold the routed fibers in ribbon form, leaving at least portions of the fibers in the mixing zone uncoated. The coated ribbons are stripped from the substrate with the uncoated fibers from the mixing zone being loose. A holding device is placed about at least the uncoated loose fibers between the input and output ribbons.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2003Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Maurice X. Sun, Sammy Ali, Igor Grois, IIya Makhlin

Patent number: 6594436Abstract: A ribbon holder is provided for a plurality of fiber optic ribbons. The holder includes a body having an interior rectangular through passage in which the plurality of fiber optic ribbons can be placed in a side-by-side parallel arrangement. A cover is provided on the body to allow access to the through passage whereby the ribbons can be placed into the passage thereof. An exterior datum surface is provided at one side of the body to identify one side of the interior rectangular through passage, whereby the ribbons can be placed in the passage in specific orientations relative to said datum surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2001Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Maurice X.
