  • Publication number: 20260079306
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for making or assembling fiber optic connectors that allows a pre-terminated fiber optic cable to be made compatible with any number of different styles or types of fiber optic connectors or fiber optic adapters. The present disclosure also relates to a fiber optic connector having first and second pieces connected to twist-to-engage interface and also including a rotational interlock. The present disclaimer relates to a fiber optic connector having a boot that mounts in multiple different axial positions.

  • Publication number: 20250383509
    Abstract: A fiber optic adapter assembly including a main body having a first end defining a ruggedized connector port and a second end defining a non-ruggedized connector port, and a retention collar configured to mount over an exterior of the main body, wherein one or more features defined by the retention collar interact with a coupling arrangement inserted into the retention collar to shift the retention collar axially relative to the main body from an extended position to a retracted position, whereupon rotation of the coupling arrangement relative to the retention collar from a non-interlocked position to an interlocked position axially shifts the retention collar relative to the main body back to the extended position, thereby inhibiting back rotation of the coupling arrangement from the interlocked position to the non-interlocked position.

  • Patent number: 12158618
    Abstract: An assembly having a protective part including a cap or a plug, a fiber optic component adapted to mate with the protective part and a lanyard. The lanyard has a first end attached to the protective part and a second end attached to the fiber optic component. One of the first and second ends of the lanyard includes a loop defined by a loop member. The loop has a plurality of undulations. The undulations are moveable between a first state and a second state. The undulations are at least partially straightened in a circumferential orientation as the undulations move from the first state to the second state. An inner cross-dimension of the loop is larger when the undulations are in the second state as compared to the first state, and wherein a resiliency of the loop biases the undulations toward the first state.
