  • Patent number: 10317627
    Abstract: An optical adaptor for mounting to a receptacle to optically couple connectorized optical cables comprises a coupling element to provide a passageway for inserting a respective ferrule of a first and a second optical connector terminating a first and a second optical cable. The optical adaptor further comprises a mounting element to mount the first optical connector to the receptacle, the mounting element being configured to be insertable in the receptacle, and a fixing element to fix the mounting element to the receptacle. The mounting element is formed as a hollow body to receive the coupling element and configured to fix the coupling element to the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 10120137
    Abstract: An optical adaptor for mounting to a receptacle to optically couple connectorized optical cables comprises an assembly of an optical interface to provide an optical path between a first and a second one of the connectorized optical cables to optically couple the first and the second connectorized optical cable. The optical adaptor further comprises a mounting element formed as a hollow body to mount the assembly of the optical interface. The assembly of the optical interface is configured to be insertable in the hollow body of the mounting element. The mounting element is configured to mechanically couple the first connectorized optical cable to the mounting element so that the first connectorized optical cable is optically coupled to the optical path.

  • Patent number: 9592578
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an assembly to couple an optical fiber to an opto-electronic component includes providing the optical fiber having an end section with a front face to couple light in and out of the optical fiber, providing a housing to encase the end section of the optical fiber. The housing is formed with an opening to receive the optical fiber. The method further includes inserting the optical fiber in the opening such that the end section of the optical fiber is disposed inside the housing, attaching the optical fiber to a surface of the housing arranged to form a boundary of the opening, and aligning the front face of the optical fiber to the opto-electronic component.
