  • Angled optical connector mounting assembly
    Patent number: 6607303
    Abstract: An optical connector adapter mount for mounting optical connectors to a panel. The mount comprises a frame with a frame with a mounting section and a tubular housing section. The mounting section attaches the mount to the panel. The tubular housing section has an aperture adapted for connecting at least one pair of optical connectors to one end of the housing section. The mounting section is slanted relative to the housing section. At least one section of the aperture is aligned with a hole in the panel, and the one pair of optical connectors are angled relative to a normal axis of the panel when the mounting section is mounted to the panel.

  • Fiber optic adapter
    Patent number: 6568861
    Abstract: A fiber optic adapter mountable through a panel opening on a panel for providing a shielded connection between at least two fiber optic connectors each having an associated fiber optic line. The adapter comprises a housing formed from a conductive material and includes a multi-part fitting that includes an alignment sleeve. Opposing parts of the fitting are mechanically coupled together. The adapter also comprises latching recesses on the housing for engaging the fiber optic connectors. The conductive material of the housing inhibits electromagnetic interference leakage through the panel opening.
