  • Publication number: 20210318499
    Abstract: Multiport assemblies comprising one or more optical ports for receiving an external optical fiber connector for making an optical connection along with useful mounting features for securing the multiport assembly are disclosed. The multiport assembly comprises a mounting member having an aperture and a standoff that is coupled to a shell. The standoff extends outward from a lower surface of the shell to allow easy mounting to irregular surfaces. In another embodiment, the multiport assembly may comprise a second mounting member with an aperture and standoff that is received in a rear shell aperture to inhibit damage to the multiport assembly if a fastener is over-tightened during mounting. In further embodiments, the multiport assembly may comprise a dust plug having a locking feature and a keying port that is received in an optical port for inhibiting dirt, dust or debris from entering when the optical port is not in use.

  • Patent number: 10429594
    Abstract: Fiber optic connectors and connectorized fiber optic cables include connector housings having locking portions defined on the connector housing that allow the connector housing to be selectively coupled to a corresponding push-button securing member of a multiport assembly. Methods for selectively connecting a fiber optic connector to, and disconnecting the fiber optic connector from the multiport assemblies allow for connector housings to be forcibly and nondestructively removed from the multiport assembly.

  • Publication number: 20190174206
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a light launch device with improved usability and performance. In particular, the light launch device includes an internally housed launch cable and emission connector, a removable faceplate, alternating laser emission, and/or optimized pulse emission. The internally housed launch cable and emission connector facilitate portability and ease of use by consolidating the various components of the light launch device. The removable faceplate is positioned over the bulkhead connected to the input connector of a launch cable assembly to prevent access to the connection during normal use but selectively allowing access for maintenance or launch cable assembly replacement. The alternating laser emissions and/or optimized pulse emission decreases power consumption and/or maintains or improves cable tracing effectiveness.
