  • Modular multi-fiber/conductor connector and insert
    Publication number: 20030016916
    Abstract: Underwater fiber optic connectors and methods of such connection are described wherein a first optical fiber and a first o-ring are positioned in a first connector portion. The first o-ring acts as a fulcrum between the first fiber and the first connector portion such that the first fiber is free to become nonparallel with a longitudinal axis of the first connector portion. The connectors and methods of connection can further comprise a second optical fiber and a second o-ring positioned within a second connector portion. Again, the second o-ring acts as a fulcrum between the second fiber and the second connector portion such that the second fiber is free to become nonparallel with a longitudinal axis of the second connector portion.
