Patent number: 11789217Abstract: An optical connector assembly a first structure and a second structure, the two structures secured together using a retention structure to form a hybrid assembly. The retention structure uses a slot apex located in a slot channel for securing at least one latch pin of a coupling nut to an adapter housing forming the ingress protected connector without the use of a bias spring. The hybrid assembly is designed to resist water or debris ingress, and may eliminate the use of a bias force to further resist separating the hybrid assembly.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Senko Advanced Components, IncInventors: Kazuyoshi Takano, Jeffrey Gniadek, Paul Newbury

Patent number: 11774682Abstract: Systems and methods of using a multiport assembly and associated components are disclosed. The multiport assembly can include a multiport device that communicatively couples multiple sets or pairs of connectors, such as optical connectors or electrical connectors, together. The multiport assembly can also include an auxiliary port device that couples to the multiport device to expand the capacity of the multiport assembly. Both the multiport and auxiliary port devices can be selectively configured to receive specific types of connectors by selectively coupling to different types of adapters, where the types of adapters correspond to the types of connectors. When coupled to the multiport or auxiliary port devices, the adapters facilitate the formation of the communication between its corresponding set of connectors.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Senko Advanced Components, IncInventors: Jeffrey Gniadek, Paul Newbury

Patent number: 11668880Abstract: An integral fan-out connector assembly for fiber optic cables includes a connector housing that provides an integrated fan-out housing and connection adapter. The fan-out connector housing may be configured with a variety of cable adapters, and may be installed as a ‘plug and play’ type solution where it will be ready to accept a feed cable for use when needed. A bracket may support the fan-out system on a support structure as a pole. The bracket can facilitate plug-and-play use of the fan-out system.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Senko Advanced Components, Inc.Inventors: Shuntaro Kanai, Kazuyoshi Takano, Paul Newbury

Publication number: 20230152535Abstract: A fiber optic adapter assembly reduced in size from a SFP footprint to a SC footprint to accommodate a first fiber optic connector on a first side within one or more ports, and a second fiber optic connector on a second side within one or more ports. The first fiber optic connector is a duplex fiber optic connector with an overall length of about 50 mm and the second fiber optic connector is a behind-the-wall connector with an overall length of about 15 mm thereby reducing the overall length of a connector and adapter assembly for increasing optical fiber density.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: Senko Advanced Components, Inc.Inventors: Jimmy CHANG, Kazuyoshi TAKANO, Paul NEWBURY

Publication number: 20230123261Abstract: A fiber optic connector terminates a drop cable. A connector housing can include a back post where the drop cable to enters the housing. A cable clamp insert is least partially received in the back post. The cable clamp insert defines a passage for receiving the drop cable. A crimp ring is crimped onto the back post to secure the cable clamp insert to the housing and clamp the cable clamp insert onto the drop cable. Fiber optic connectors can also have a cable clamp insert and a cable clamp retainer that couples to the rear end portion of the housing whereby the cable clamp retainer pushes the cable clamp insert forward in the housing and applies an increasing force to create a tight connection between the housing and the cable clamp insert.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventor: Paul Newbury

Patent number: 11579374Abstract: A hybrid ingress protection adapter and connector assembly, connecting the housing with a releasably replaceable connector and power assembly to an adapter that is mount on a panel. The connector has a pair of lead-ins that protect a ferrule of a plural of fiber optic connectors, and the lead-ins are of varying length allow blind mating of the connector assembly with the adapter assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Senko Advanced Components, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Lee, Paul Newbury, Kazuyoshi Takano, Jeffrey Gniadek

Publication number: 20220269013Abstract: In an ingress-protected fiber optic connector assembly, an optical fiber plug mates with a receptacle at a bulkhead adapter and an ingress-protected housing assembly couples to the bulkhead adapter to enclose the optical fiber plug. The ingress-protected housing includes an outer housing and a compressible cable seal. The outer housing is rotatable to advance the outer housing, simultaneously compressing the compressible cable seal and fastening the housing assembly to the bulkhead adapter. The outer housing can have a plurality coupling positions at which the cable seal is compressed with a different amount of compression force. A non-sealing cable clamp can transfer tension on the cable to the bulkhead adapter.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: Kenji IIZUMI, Kazuyoshi TAKANO, Paul NEWBURY

Publication number: 20220252795Abstract: A fiber optic connector kit includes a fiber optic connector, a plug frame, a first front body and a second front body. The fiber optic connector has a back body and a ferrule. The plug frame attaches to the back body of the fiber optic connector, and has a plug frame connector. The first and second front bodies matingly connect with first and a second types of fiber optic receptacles, respectively. The first front body includes a first front body connector that connects to the plug frame connector to connect the first front body to the plug frame. The second front body includes a second front body connector that connects to the plug frame connector to connect the second front body to the plug frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2020Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventor: Paul Newbury
