Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a device and system of devices including: a connector housing comprising an alignment sleeve therein with a plural of angled surface and at least one opening, or an internal cavity of said connector housing has the same configuration as said alignment sleeve. Upon inserting ferrule assembly within an opening of said housing, a contact point on a collar or flange of said assembly moves along angled surfaces until it engages an opening between angled surfaces for securing ferrule assembly within connector housing without jamming.

Abstract: A fiber optic connector having a push/pull tab wherein the push/pull tab travel is limited by an internal stop to release a connector from a receptacle, and the push/pull tab is releasably secured from connector. The push/pull tab has a plural of securing protrusions that secure the tab to the connector housing.

Abstract: An adapter assembly is formed from an adapter housing with a recess configured to accept an adapter panel hook. The adapter assembly is secured within a panel using the adapter panel hook. The adapter panel hook has opposing side portions connected by a joining plate. Each side portion has an elastic pawl with opposing elastic members. The elastic members are configured to be secured between the adapter outer housing and panel wall opening to reduce vibration at the adapter housing.

Abstract: A multi-fiber, fiber optic connector may include a reversible keying arrangement for determining the orientation for plugging the connector into an adapter to thereby allow for a change in polarity of the connection to be made on site. The connector housing may be configured to engage with a removable key that may be engaged with the housing in at least two different locations to provide the plug-in orientation, or the housing may have slidably displaceable keys movable between multiple positions on the housing.

Abstract: Various connector housings for securing an optical cable, as well as methods of use and manufacture thereof are disclosed. A single-piece unitary connector housing body may include a first opening formed in a first end of the housing body, a second opening formed in a second end of the housing body, a bore through the housing body extending from the first opening to the second opening, and a back post surrounding the second opening. The first opening may be configured to receive a terminating optical cable and the second opening may be configured to receive a fiber optic cable. The back post may extend from the second opening in a longitudinal direction and may include a plurality of protrusions thereon. A length of the back post may have a concave shape.

Abstract: The present invention provides an optical fiber cable fixing mechanism and method for easy, rapid, and precise installation of an optical fiber in a field-fabricated optical fiber connector without the need for external installation equipment. The optical fiber fixing mechanism comprises a back post, a press ring, and a boot. The back post comprises at least an interior passage allowing the pass-through of the buffered section of the optical fiber cable there within; and at least one clamping latch. When the clamping latch is pressed towards the interior passage of the back post, it clamps on to the optical fiber cable laid there within. The press ring is for hooping around the back post and pressing on the clamping latch. The boot is for securing the press ring around the back post.

Abstract: A mount plate for an optical adaptor includes two bases bridged by a bar and a locking claw stemming out of each of the two bases. Each of the two bases has a folded structure erected at the back end of the base to fill up the gap between the optical adaptor and the hole of the panel and to reduce rattling. Supporting tips are provided at the base of the folded structure to support the folded structure and to keep the base securely attached to the optical adaptor.
