  • Devices and methods for measuring forces exerted by ferrules of optical connectors
    Patent number: 7505662
    Abstract: A device for measuring a force exerted by a ferrule of a fiber optic connector includes a base including an adapter mount configured to accept one of a plurality of adapter assemblies, and a stage coupled to the base, the stage moving longitudinally with respect to the base. The device also includes a force gauge coupled to the stage, and an adapter assembly configured to be coupled to the adapter mount of the base, the adapter assembly defining an adapter configured to receive the fiber optic connector. The fiber optic connector is connected to the adapter assembly, and the force gauge measures the force exerted by the ferrule of the fiber optic connector. Systems and methods for measuring the force exerted by the ferrule of a fiber optic connector are also included.
