  • APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR INDICATING THE OPERATIONAL CONDITION OF A COMMUNICATION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20100183293
    Abstract: A communication interface module is disclosed, wherein the module may include a circuit board having an electronic communication interface and an optical communication interface; a light source disposed on the circuit board, wherein the light source is indicative of a status of at least one operational condition of the module; a module cover coupled to the circuit board; and a light path extending from the light source on the circuit board to a portion of the module cover visible to a human operator.

  • Anti-wiggle optical receptacle
    Patent number: 7674047
    Abstract: A casing includes a solid sleeve and a split sleeve in combination to provide a connection between a fiber stub and a ferrule containing an optical fiber. The arrangement prevents wiggle of the ferrule, and also does so without the tight tolerances that would otherwise be required in solid sleeve systems.

  • Optical fiber management device
    Patent number: 6442322
    Abstract: This invention relates to an optical fiber management device that allows optical fiber to be placed in very restricted areas such as small modules. This device also provides an embedded conduit system that prevents the optical fibers from over bending and inhibits optical transmission. Moreover, the device of the present invention allows free movement of the optical fibers therethrough, if necessary. The result is a flexible and useful way to manage the location of the optical fibers and facilitate the connection of optical adapters.
