Abstract:
An optical fiber cable assembly comprising an optical fiber slidably enclosed within a hollow tubing, both the fiber and the tubing having corresponding first and second ends. The cable is terminated with the first and second ends of the tubing and the fiber constrained with respect to each other such that fiber and the tubing are approximately the same length when the cable is at a first temperature. The tubing is made of a material which contracts more than the optical fiber when the cable is exposed to temperatures below the first temperature, such that the fiber is longer than the tubing and excess fiber length is formed. An intermediate portion of the tubing permits the excess fiber length to accumulate without bending in a radius smaller than a minimum bend radius.
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:
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:
The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic device including a fiber optic connector and a fiber optic cable inserted within the connector. The fiber optic connector includes a first housing piece that extends along a longitudinal axis. The first housing piece includes a front end positioned opposite from a rear end. The first housing piece also defines an inner chamber. A hub is positioned within the inner chamber of the first housing piece. The hub includes a passage that extends along the longitudinal axis. The hub is slidable along the longitudinal axis relative to the first housing piece. A ferrule is connected to the hub. The ferrule extends along the longitudinal axis from the hub toward the front end of the first housing piece. The ferrule defines a passage that extends in general axial alignment with the passage of the hub. A second housing piece is positioned at the rear end of the first housing piece. The second housing piece defines a passage that is in generally axial alignment with the passage of the hub. A spring is captured between the hub and the second housing piece for biasing the hub toward the front end of the first housing piece. A third housing piece is non-unitarily connected to the second housing piece. A third housing piece defines a passage that is in general axial alignment with the passage of the second housing piece. The third housing piece includes an outer crimp region. The fiber optic cable has a portion crimped against the outer crimp region of the third housing piece. The fiber optic cable includes a fiber that extends through: (1) the passage of the ferrule; (2) the passage of the hub; (3) the passage of the second housing piece; and (4) the passage of the third housing piece.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a drop cable assembly including a fiber optic drop cable having a length that extends from a first end of the fiber optic drop cable to an opposite second end of the fiber optic drop cable. The fiber optic drop cable also includes an intermediate location located between the first and second ends of the fiber optic drop cable. The drop cable assembly also includes a first fiber optic connector mounted at the first end of the fiber optic drop cable and a second fiber optic connector mounted at the second end of the fiber optic drop cable. The drop cable assembly further includes an optical fiber that extends continuously without splicing along the length of the fiber optic drop cable from the first fiber optic connector to the second fiber optic connector. The fiber optic drop cable has a first cable segment that extends from the first end of the fiber optic drop cable to the intermediate location and a second cable segment that extends from the intermediate location to the second end of the fiber optic drop cable. The first cable segment is more robust than the second cable segment and the second cable segment being more flexible than the first cable segment. The present disclosure also relates t methods and arrangements for mechanically attaching fiber optic connectors to drop cables of the type described above.
