Patent number: 9726838Abstract: An optical fiber securing device may include a passage, an optical fiber seat, and a boundary portion. The passage may have an entrance and an exit, the passage configured to receive therein an optical fiber inserted through the entrance, as well as an epoxy. An epoxy path may be provided as a pathway between an epoxy well and the passage. The optical fiber seat may be configured to receive at least a portion of the optical fiber, the optical fiber seat configured to position an end of the optical fiber in optical alignment with a lens. The boundary portion may define an upper boundary of the passage at the exit of the passage, and is configured to restrain epoxy received within the passage such that the epoxy does not become interposed between the end of the optical fiber and the lens.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2016Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: FINISAR CORPORATIONInventors: David Lee, Daniel Kossowski, Frank J. Flens, William H. Wang, Michael Joseph McReynolds, Jr.

Patent number: 9577386Abstract: A connector includes pins having a pinout including a functional designation cadence. The functional designation cadence includes a first ground pin, a first signal pin, a no-connect pin, a second signal pin, and a second ground pin, where the first signal pin is positioned between the first ground pin and the no-connect pin, the no-connect pin is positioned between the first and second signal pins, and the second signal pin is positioned between the no-connect pin and the second ground pin. Alternately, the functional designation cadence includes a first ground pin, a first signal pin, a third ground pin, a second signal pin, and a second ground pin, where the first signal pin is positioned between the first and third ground pins, the third ground pin is positioned between the first and second signal pins, and the second signal pin is positioned between the third and second ground pins.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: FINISAR CORPORATIONInventors: Frank Flens, Daniel Kossowski, William H.

Patent number: 9140866Abstract: An example embodiment includes an optical connector. The optical connector includes a printed circuit board (PCB), multiple optical components, multiple optical fibers, and a lens assembly. The optical components are mounted to the PCB. Additionally, each of the optical components includes an aperture. The lens assembly is positioned on the PCB. The lens assembly defines a cavity in which the optical components are positioned. Additionally, the lens assembly defines optical fiber seats that are configured to receive the optical fibers. The lens assembly includes an angled surface that is configured to reflect optical signals between the optical components and the optical fibers.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2013Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: FINISAR CORPORATIONInventors: David Lee, Daniel Kossowski, Frank J. Flens, William H. Wang, Michael Joseph McReynolds, Jr.
