Abstract: A communication connector including a connector housing configured to hold at least one of optical fibers or electrical contacts. The connector housing has an engagement face that is configured to interface with a mating connector. The communication connector also includes a movable member that is held by the connector housing and that includes a magnetic material. The movable member is permitted to move toward and engage the mating connector when the movable member is magnetically drawn toward the mating connector.

Abstract: A multi-fiber fiber-optic connector is provided containing a cartridge having a front radial flange containing peripheral, circumferentially-spaced notches in each of which a fiber-optic terminal is axially positioned, and having a rear radial flange containing peripheral, circumferentially-spaced notches in each of which a fiber-optic clamp body is axially positioned. The fiber-optic terminals are spring-biased forwardly toward the open end of the connector, and a preload plate holds them in a preloaded state. Each of the terminals is provided at its outer end with a surrounding, axially-extending resilient split sleeve, the outer end of which is empty to receive a fiber-optic terminal of a mating conductor similar to the above-described connector, but without the split sleeves.

Abstract: A connector 1 for assembly with an optical cable 2 comprises, a shell 10 encircling a spring biased holder 13 for an optical fiber 3 of the cable 2, a sheath 16 to prevent leaking of adhesive 59 from the holder 13, and strength members 5 of the cable 2 anchored to the shell 10, whereby the holder 13 and the optical fiber 3 of the cable 2 are displaceable with respect to the strength members 5 of the cable 2.

Abstract: An optical connector comprising, an alignment ferrule 11 receiving a plunger 38 and receiving an insert 35 between the plunger 38 and a constriction 32, the plunger 38 being constructed to receive an optical fiber 3 and a buffer 4 covering the optical fiber 3, and the plunger 38 and the insert 35 being constructed for movement forwardly to compact the insert 35 in the constriction 32 and to apply compression concentrically on the optical fiber 3.

Abstract: A right angle coaxial plug connector comprises a mounting member in an upper surface of which is disposed a channel which is in communication with a hole normal to the channel. A contact pin extends outwardly from a bottom surface of the mounting member. A center contact is disposed along a dielectric member located within a tubular outer contact, the outer contact being electrically secured within the channel. A front section of the center contact extends outwardly from a front surface of the outer contact while a right-angled rear section of the center contact extends along a dielectric medium in the hole of the mounting member and includes a pin section extending outwardly from the mounting member parallel to the pin contact, the pin section and the pin contact being electrically connectable respectively to a ground plane and a signal path on a card.
