Patent number: 10877221Abstract: A fiber optic connector comprises an outer housing, an inner housing installed in the outer housing, a fiber optic ferrule accommodated in the inner housing, an optical cable inserted into the inner housing and connected to the fiber optic ferrule, an elastic boot that is wrapped around both a connecting portion of the fiber optic ferrule connecting to the optical cable and a portion of the optical cable adjacent to the connecting portion, and a sealing structure. The sealing structure is disposed between a rear end portion of the outer housing and the elastic boot to provide a seal between the outer housing and the elastic boot.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co. Ltd.Inventors: Haibo Zhang, Zhigang Song, Jinqiang Zhang, Zhiyun Zhong

Patent number: 10627584Abstract: A connector that includes an outer housing having an assembly channel with a stopping step on an inner wall of thereof and an optical beam expanding module assembled with the assembly channel of the outer housing. The optical beam expanding module includes a rear seat, formed with a snap ring groove, in which a C-shaped snap ring is fitted. A cable having a strengthening element is fixed on a rear end portion of the rear seat. When the cable of the optical beam expanding module is pulled outwardly, the C-shaped snap ring abuts against the stopping step, so that a pulling force exerted on the cable is transferred to the outer housing through the strengthening element of the cable, instead of being transferred to an optical fiber of the cable, thus preventing the optoelectronic coupling end faces of the connector from being separated.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2017Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co. Ltd.Inventors: Zhiyun Zhong, Zhigang Song, Haibo Zhang, Jiangbo Qin, Jinqiang Zhang, Jiahui Chen

Patent number: 10151882Abstract: An optical beam expanding module that has a housing, a ferrule mounted in the housing, a cable extending into the housing, an optical fiber of the cable being received in an inner bore of the ferrule; and an optical lens mounted in the housing at a front end surface of the ferrule for expanding the diameter of a light beam output from the optical fiber. The optical beam expanding module is adapted to be assembled as a single component in any one of assembly channels in mounting bodies of different connectors. There is provided a standardized optical beam expanding module being adapted to be applied to different beam expanding connectors.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2017Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co. Ltd.Inventors: Zhiyun Zhong, Zhigang Song, Haibo Zhang, Jiahui Chen, Jiangbo Qin

Patent number: 9563024Abstract: Disclosed are a high-density fiber connector and an assembly method thereof. The connector, adapted for use with a fiber adapter, comprises a connector casing, a ferrule, a spring and a boot, wherein the connector casing has a cross width of 2.5 mm to 4.5 mm. The connector casing comprises a front casing and a rear casing, which lock up one another to form a cavity. The tail of the connector casing is connected with a boot. On the connector casing are sequentially arranged a guide block and an elastic arm from the front toward the back. A fixed end of the elastic arm is oriented toward the tail of the connector, while a free end faces an insert end of the connector and includes a retaining bump. The ferrule 2 is fastened with the ferrule tailstock 3 and penetrates through a through hole at the front of the connector casing. The spring is compressed between the ferrule tailstock and a thrust block formed by inner walls of the connector casing.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Sunsea Telecommunications Co., Ltd.Inventors: ZhiYun Zhong, Guo Yang, QiYue Wang
