  • Patent number: 10983284
    Abstract: A fiber optic connector is disclosed that includes a plug body having a plug end and a connector core that mounts within the plug body. The connector core includes a ferrule subassembly including a ferrule, a ferrule hub that attaches to the ferrule, a spring holder and a connector spring. The ferrule sub-assembly is assembled with the connector spring pre-compressed to an initial compressed state prior to mounting the connector core within the connector body. The plug body and the core are configured such that the connector spring is moved from the initial compressed state to a final compressed state when the connector core is loaded in the plug body. In certain examples, tuning features can be integrated into the connector core.

  • Publication number: 20190137694
    Abstract: A connector including two connector portions each including a ferrule and a latch, each latch including a distal end, and a proximal end, wherein the latch is pivotable about an intermediate connection portion; and a boot mounted to the connector portions, the boot movable longitudinally relative to the connector portions, wherein the boot causes the distal ends of the latch to pivot toward the ferrule of each connector portion as the boot is moved away from the connector portions. Front housings of the connector portions can each be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the ferrule without rotating the ferrule or the boot, to change the polarity of the two connector portions. The spacing between the two ferrules is adjustable. A holder holds the connector portions, the holder including side slots, the connector portions mounted to the holder by moving laterally to the side slots. The holder defines an area for receipt of a fiber optic cable when the ferrule is pushed in a direction toward the boot.

  • Patent number: 10036864
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a fiber optic splice protection device. In one aspect, the device includes a closure including a cover and a chassis, and a fiber routing management unit mounted on the chassis of the closure. The fiber routing management unit can include a bottom member, flexible clippers, which are removably mounted on top of the bottom member; and a resilient biasing member, mounted on the chassis of the closure. The biasing member applies an elastic biasing force to the bottom member such that the bottom member is pressed against fiber optic cables to be spliced under the action of the elastic biasing member. The disclosed device avoids the phenomenon of messy winding of the fiber optic jacket and the fiber optic, and increases the winding space of the cable.
