  • Patent number: 10598870
    Abstract: A fiber optic connector includes first and second ferrules arranged next to each other. The first and second ferrules each have a plurality of bores configured to support respective optical fibers. The fiber optic connector also includes an inner connector body having a front end from which the first and second ferrules extend, a latch arm extending outwardly from the inner connector body, and an outer body having a housing portion in which the inner connector body is at least partially received and a handle extending rearwardly from the housing portion. The outer body can move relative to the inner connector body to cause the latch arm to flex toward the inner connector body.

  • Publication number: 20170315307
    Abstract: An optical sub-assembly includes an optical adapter with a main body that defines an internal chamber disposed between a front side and a rear side. The internal chamber includes a rear internal chamber with a sleeve section and a rear body section. A connector is disposed within the rear internal chamber. The connector includes a ferrule, a ferrule holder and a rear body. A sleeve holding the ferrule and an optical fiber extending into the ferrule are included. The ferrule extends from the ferrule holder and the sleeve is disposed over the ferrule with an interference fit such that the ferrule, ferrule holder and sleeve form an integrated part. The sleeve is disposed in the sleeve section of the rear internal chamber of the main body with an interference fit such that the ferrule, ferrule holder, sleeve and rear body position and align the optical fiber within the optical adapter.

  • Publication number: 20170315304
    Abstract: Designs of pluggable optical passive devices are described. An optical adapter comprises a housing including at least one socket to receive an optical fiber cable, a ferrule to allow a glass core to go through the ferrule, after the optical fiber cable is cut to expose the glass core therein, a ferrule holder integrating the ferrule with the optical fiber cable, a sleeve provided to secure the ferrule to form an integrated part, a rear body mounted on the optical fiber cable, and a locking mechanism in the socket to receive and engage the integrated part, where the rear body is pushed in to secure the integrated part in the socket. Optionally, a ring (e.g.
