Abstract: The present invention provides an optical connector having a housing assemb ly comprised of polyphenylsulfone (PPSU). PPSU has several characteristics that make it suitable for use with optical connectors including good flexibility, low sensitivity to molding parameters, good environmental properties, and compatibility with anaerobic adhesives, which are often used to attach the optical fiber to the ferrule i n private networks. The connector preferably comprises a one-piece housing, which enhances the side-loading characteristics of the connector. The connector preferably comprises a ferrule assembly and an insert that are housed within the one-piece housing. The insert has a keying mechanism formed thereon that is adapted to mate with a keying mechanism formed in the housing. When the insert is inserted into the first end of the housing, the keying mechanism of the insert interlocks with the keying mechanism of the housing to lock the insert into place within the housing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a connector for terminating an optical fiber. The connector comprises a one-piece housing, a ferrule assembly and an insert. T he insert has keys formed thereon that are adapted to mate with keyways formed in the housing. The housing has a first opening formed therein that first receives the ferrule assembly and then the insert and a second opening opposite the first opening. The end of the ferrule assembly that holds the end of the optical fiber protrudes through the secon d opening. The insert has a flange thereon that has two oppositely located flat surface s and two oppositely located keys. The keys each have a chamfered surface. The keys an d the flat surfaces of the flange provide the flange with a substantially rectangular cross-section. The first opening formed in the housing has a substantially square cross- section. When the insert is inserted into the first end of the housing, the substantially squa re cross-section of the opening aligns with the oppositely located flat surfaces of the flange t o thereby cause the keys of the flange to align with the keyways formed in the surfaces of t he housing. The chamfered surfaces of the keys deflect the sides of the housing outwardl y as the insert is inserted into the housing. The keys of the insert are then received bythe keyways formed in the housing to lock the insert into place within the housing.

Abstract: An optical cable tracing system is constructed using an optical/electrical (hybrid) cable Ä10Ü containing both optical and electrical transmission media. This cable provides desirably high bandwidth via optical fibers Ä15Ü while connection accuracy is provided via electrical wires Ä13Ü, which are used to operate indicator lights Ä941Ü at one or both ends of the cable. A hybrid plug connector Ä300Ü terminates the cable at each end and includes a dielectric housing Ä20, 30Ü that encloses the optical fiber (glass or plastic), which extends through a front opening Ä21Ü in the housing. A single cantilever latch Ä22Ü is mounted on a top-side of the housing that is adapted to engage a mating jack receptacle Ä440Ü in a locking relationship. A conductor-holding apparatus is molded into the bottom side of the housing where it holds a number of insulated electrical conductors and metallic blade terminals Ä36Ü that pierce the insulation and make electrical contact with each of the conductors. The mating jack receptacle includes a row of spaced wire springs Ä449Ü at the entrance of the optical connecting portion of the receptacle. The wire springs either extend to an opposite side of the receptacle to provide electrical interconnection between a pair of hybrid plug connectors, or the wire springs are arrayed to fit into a printed wiring board Ä710Ü for interconnection with electrical circuitry Ä730Ü thereon.

Abstract: A tunable adapter for joining optical fiber connectors with other elements h as a housing in which are contained a fixed disc member having a connector receiving jack mounted thereon, the axis of which is surrounded by an array of indexing member. The housing further contains a movable wall member having a connector jack extending therefrom, the axis of which is surrounded by an array of indexing members adapted to mate with the indexing members on the fixed disc member. The movable wall is biased toward the disc member by means of a spring member so that, in normal operation, the indexing members are mated. When the movable wall is pulled out of engagemen t, it is rotatable so that the adapter may be tuned by an approximate alignment of th e eccentricity vectors of the two connectors.
