  • PITCH CONVERSION FERRULE BOOT
    Publication number: 20240061183
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a ferrule boot that provides a pitch conversion from fiber ribbon having a first pitch (e.g., about 200 microns) to a multi-fiber ferrule having fiber openings arranged at a second pitch larger than the first pitch (e.g., about 250 microns). The ferrule boot may also function as a tool for inserting pitch converted optical fibers into the multi-fiber ferrule.

  • FIBER OPTIC PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20230028782
    Abstract: Processing operations allow optical fibers to be efficiently installed in ferrules. An optical fiber holding device includes a clip having a length that extends between a first end and a second end. The clip includes a base and a cover that each extend between the first end and second ends. The clip includes a fiber passage that located between the cover and the base that extends between the first and second ends. The clip defines a ferrule boot receptacle at the first end.

  • DUAL-NESTED CLEAVER
    Publication number: 20220252787
    Abstract: A fiber cleaving tool includes a cleaving component, a first mounting nest at a first end of the cleaving component, and a second mounting nest at an opposite second end of the cleaving component. Each mounting nest is configured to hold and orient a mounting clip to direct one or more optical fibers towards the cleaving component. The orientation of the mounting nests of the cleaving tool may correspond to the orientation of the mounting nests of a splice tool.
