Abstract:
A fiber optic cable and connector assembly including a fiber optic connector mounted at the end of a fiber optic cable. The fiber optic connector includes a ferrule assembly including a stub fiber supported within a ferrule. The stub fiber is fusion spliced to an optical fiber of the fiber optic cable at a location within the fiber optic connector.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic connector and cable assembly. The fiber optic connector includes a ferrule assembly having a ferrule, a ferrule hub and a ferrule spring. The ferrule has a distal end face that is accessible at a distal end of the connector housing. The ferrule is movable in a proximal direction relative to the connector housing from a distal position to a proximal position. The distal and proximal positions are separated by an axial displacement distance. The proximal movement of the ferrule is against the bias of the ferrule spring. The fiber optic cable of the assembly includes an optical fiber contained within a cable jacket. The fiber optic cable also includes a strength layer positioned between the optical fiber and the cable jacket. The strength layer is anchored to the connector housing. The optical fiber extends through a fiber passage of the fiber optic connector from the proximal end of the connector housing to the ferrule. The optical fiber has a distal portion potted within the ferrule. The fiber passage has a fiber take-up region through which the optical fiber extends. The fiber take-up region is configured to take-up an excess length of the optical fiber that corresponds to the axial displacement distance of the ferrule.
Abstract:
A telecommunications assembly including a housing and a plurality of modules mounted within the housing. The modules includes a rear face in which is mounted at least one fiber optic connector. Within an interior of the housing are positioned at least one fiber optic adapters. Inserting the module through a front opening of the housing at a mounting location positions the connector of the module for insertion into and mating with the adapter of the housing. The adapters within the interior of the housing are mounted to a removable holder. A method of mounting a telecommunications module within a chassis.
Abstract:
A fiber optic connector includes a connector housing having a distal end and a proximal end. The connector also includes a ferrule assembly having a ferrule and a ferrule spring. The ferrule has a distal end face accessible at the distal end of the connector housing. The ferrule spring biases the ferrule in a distal direction relative to the connector housing. The connector further includes a boot mounted at the proximal end of the connector housing. The boot has a distal end that mounts over the proximal end of the connector housing and a proximal end. The boot defines a central axis extending along a length of the boot from the distal end to the proximal end of the boot. The boot defines a central passage extending through the length of the boot. A strain relief portion is adjacent the proximal end of the boot. The strain relief portion has a truncated, conical outer shape. The strain relief portion is formed by a plurality of co-axial rings separated by axial gaps. The rings are interconnected by axial links that extend across the axial gaps. The central passage has a proximal portion corresponding to a length of the strain relief portion. The proximal portion defines a transverse cross-dimension, and a majority of the rings of the strain relief portion of the boot have radial thicknesses that are at least 50 percent as long as the transverse cross-dimension.
Abstract:
Fiber optic connectors and method of assembly are disclosed. One embodiment of the fiber optic connector includes a front housing having sidewalls each defining a slot extending from an internal cavity to an exterior of the front housing and a rear insert with a pair of locking flanges positioned on opposite sides of the rear insert extending radially away, the locking flanges configured to snap-fit into the slots defined on the sidewalls, each locking flange defining a front face and a rear face, the radially outermost portion of the rear face defining an edge, the edge being the rearmost extending portion of the locking flange. Another embodiment of the fiber optic connector includes a front housing defining a top wall, a bottom wall, a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a front opening at a front end, a circular rear opening at a rear end, and an internal cavity extending therebetween. A rear insert including a generally cylindrical front portion is inserted into the front housing through the circular rear opening, the front portion defining at least one longitudinal flat configured to reduce the overall diameter of the generally cylindrical front portion configured to be inserted into the front housing.
Abstract:
A telecommunications assembly includes a chassis and a plurality of fiber optic splitter modules mounted within the chassis. Each splitter module includes at least one fiber optic connector. Within an interior of the chassis are positioned at least one fiber optic adapter. Inserting the splitter module through a front opening of the chassis at a mounting location positions the connector of the splitter module for insertion into and mating with the adapter of the chassis. The adapters mounted within the interior of the chassis are integrally formed as part of a removable adapter assembly. A method of mounting a fiber optic splitter module within a telecommunications chassis is also disclosed.
