  • Patent number: 6666586
    Abstract: An optic adaptor connects first and second optic fibers in an aligned but spaced fashion for attenuation of optic signal traveling between the optic fibers. The adaptor includes a base secured to a patch panel and connected to the first optic fiber. The base defines a bore receiving and retaining a first end of a sleeve that receives the first optic fiber. A cylinder has a proximal end axially and movably received in the bore to receive a second end of the sleeve. A fiber connection member is mounted to the cylinder and attaches the second optic fiber to the cylinder with the second optic fiber received in the second end of the sleeve. A knob ring threadingly engages the cylinder. The knob is rotatably mounted to but is not axially movable with respect the base body whereby rotation of the knob induces axial movement of the cylinder and the second optic fiber with respect to the base body and the first optic fiber. Thus the distance between the optic fibers can be changed.

The top and bottom housings each define a ringed channel (104, 304). The gasket includes a plurality of quadrate flanges (206). Each quadrate flange defines an elliptic opening (208) for inserting a fiber clamp holding a fiber. The gasket is received in the ringed channels of the top and bottom housings. When screws combining the top and bottom housings together are tightened, the gasket deforms to fill the ringed channels, thereby forming a good seal between an inside and an outside of the housing. The elliptic openings promote a balancing of stress in the quadrate flanges, increasing the life of the gasket.

  • Patent number: 6650805
    Abstract: An optical switch includes an input port (51), a plurality of output ports (52), a switching element (40) for switching light signals from the input port to any one of the output ports, a base (30), and a housing (10). The switching element has a driving device (400), a rotary holder (410) and two reflectors (422, 424). The reflectors are attached to a supporting arm (414) of the rotary holder, and positions of two counterweights (418) are adjustable on two balancing arms (416) to balance the combination rotary holder—reflectors around an axis of rotation. The input port is mounted in a center hole (352) of the base and the output ports are mounted in peripheral holes (354) defined in a circle around the center hole. Rotation of the rotary holder switches light signals from the input port to be output to any one of the output ports.

  • Patent number: 6647173
    Abstract: An optical switch (99) according to the present invention comprises a housing (30), a first I/O port (10), a second I/O port (50), a driver (23) and a switching element (20). The housing holds the first I/O port and the second I/O port in alignment with a prism (22) having reflective surfaces (221, 222) and supports the driver on a substrate (31) of the housing. A mirror (21) of the switching element is rotationally attached to the driver, and is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, light beams from the first and second I/O ports transmit through the prism back to the second and first I/O ports, respectively; in the second position, light beams from the first and second I/O ports are reflected back to the first and second I/O ports by the mirror. Thus light signals from input fibers are switched between two output fibers of the I/O ports.
