  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS USING CWDM FERRULE MATED TO A NON-CWDM FERRULE
    Publication number: 20240126022
    Abstract: An assembly of two fiber optic ferrules allows for the mating of a CWDM fiber optic ferrule with a non-CWDM fiber optic ferrule. The CWDM fiber optic ferrule has optical fibers that carry optical beams with at least two different wavelengths, which the non-CWDM ferrule has optical fibers that carry only one wavelength. The CWDM fiber optic ferrule and the non-CWDM fiber optic ferrule have optical fibers that are inserted along parallel axes. The non-CWDM fiber optic ferrule has a lens pitch that matches the CWDM ferrule.

  • System and method for optical communications using CWDM ferrule mated to a non-CWDM ferrule
    Patent number: 11874506
    Abstract: An assembly of two fiber optic ferrules allows for the mating of a CWDM fiber optic ferrule with a non-CWDM fiber optic ferrule. The CWDM fiber optic ferrule has optical fibers that carry optical beams with at least two different wavelengths, which the non-CWDM ferrule has optical fibers that carry only one wavelength. The CWDM fiber optic ferrule causes the optical beam to make at least one 90 degree turn. The non-CWDM fiber optic ferrule has a lens pitch that matches the CWDM ferrule.
