  • Patent number: 7175514
    Abstract: An apparatus that mass polishes a variety of fiber optic cable connectors simultaneously. The apparatus includes a plurality of polishing plates, each capable of holding its own polishing film and pad, and having a varying height. The apparatus further includes a plurality of connector fixtures that may receive a variety of connectors at varying angles. Each connector fixture communicates with a corresponding polishing pad. Thus, fiber optic cable connectors having a variety of polished end faces may be provided with the apparatus. The apparatus also eliminates the potential for contamination among polishing films, reduces polishing steps, and saves labor and maintenance costs.

  • Patent number: 6671178
    Abstract: A module housing apparatus protects modules having sensitive electrical, optical, and/or electro-optical components from physical and electrostatic discharge (ESD). The module housing apparatus includes a box constructed or coated with a conductive material and having an open end. Module board guides are formed in opposing inside surfaces of the conductive box and include slots that accept and guide the board edges of the module. The conductive module faceplate mates with the conductive box to form a Faraday cage that protects the components of the module from ESD. The module board guide may be modified to accept the module faceplate inner profile including, for example, a recess that accepts a module holding clip and/or an insertion guide to guide the board edges into the slot. A retaining mechanism such as a strap may be used to hold the module in the housing.
