Patent number: 10823918Abstract: A method and system connects multiple cores within one fiber, e.g., a multi-core fiber (MCF), to multiple fibers with single-cores. The single-core fibers can then be terminated by traditional envelopes, such as a single core LC envelope. A connector holds the single-core fibers into a pattern that matches a pattern of all, or a sub group, of the individual cores of the MCF. The single-core fibers may all be terminated to individual connectors to form a fanout or breakout cable. Alternatively, the single-core fibers may extend to another connector wherein the single-core fibers are regrouped into a pattern to mate with the cores of another MCF, hence forming a jumper. One or more of the single core fibers may be terminated along the length of the jumper to form a jumper with one or more tap accesses.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: CommScope, Inc. of North CarolinaInventors: Jeffrey D. Nielson, Paul F. Kolesar, Gary F. Gibbs, Bradley Billman, Richard L. Case

Publication number: 20140233893Abstract: A multi-core optical fiber has dimensions to be backwards compatible with a conventional, single-core optical fiber of the single-mode or multimode type. In one embodiment, the center core has a diameter, such as 3 to 9 um, 50 um or 62.5 um. Such a multi-core optical fiber can be used in connector envelopes like an LC, SC, ST or an array connector, such as an MTP/MPO connector, and will permit the fiber optic connector to continue supporting conventional transmission using only the central core of the optical fiber. Yet, allow fiber optic networks to be upgraded from supporting conventional transmission to parallel transmission using the multiple cores within the optical fiber at a later date.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2013Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: CommScope, Inc. of North CarolinaInventors: Richard Y.

Patent number: 8406587Abstract: Fiber adapter modules for use as interfaces at both ends of multi-fiber trunk cables position the channels of plural fiber optic transceivers onto fibers of the trunk cables in an efficient manner, such that normally dark fibers of a trunk cables are utilized. The fiber adapter modules include trunk-side ports for receiving adapters of multi-fiber trunk cables and transceiver-side ports for receiving adapters carrying both transmit channels and receive channels of fiber optic transceivers. Optical interconnections are provided within the fiber adapter modules to place at least one transmit channel or at least one receive channel of a first fiber optic transceiver at a first trunk-side port and to place at least one transmit channel or at least one receive channel of a second fiber optic transceiver at the first trunk-side port.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2010Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: CommScope, Inc. of North CarolinaInventors: Ronald L.

Patent number: 5987203Abstract: A distribution module for use in a traditional electrical panel that provides coupling functionality for optical and electrical connectors. The distribution module is comprised of a housing with a passage defined therein. The distribution module further includes high density, modular coupling strips, which are chosen based on the type of connectors to be coupled. These coupling strips are joined together and then secured in the passage formed in the housing. Once assembled, the distribution module is received into an opening in the panel thereby integrating both optical and electrical couplers in a single panel.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1997Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: John N.
