Abstract: A re-terminable, no-crimp ST-type optical connector assembly includes a spring-loaded ferrule holder assembly and a reusable activation system for termination of the assembly. The optical connector can be terminated by a suitable cam activation tool. The connector includes a housing, such as a bayonet, matable to a mating adapter, a backbone retained within a rear of the housing, a ferrule holder provided within the backbone, and a cam provided between the ferrule holder and the backbone. The ferrule holder includes an alignment key exposed to mate with a cam activation tool to lock rotation of the ferrule holder relative to other connector components. The cam includes a cam activation cutout at a front face thereof that mates with a cam activation tool interface to enable rotation of the cam between de-activated and activated positions, the cam activation cutout also receiving the alignment key of the ferrule holder therethrough. The cam further includes a first camming profile that actuates a field fiber clamp and a second camming profile that actuates a buffer clamp. The connector may further include alignment flats and features for preventing rotation and axial movement of various components. Because the cam is unexposed when mated, inadvertent de-activation is prevented.

Abstract translation: 可重复闭合的无压接ST型光学连接器组件包括弹簧加载的套管保持器组件和用于终止组件的可重复使用的激活系统。 光学连接器可以通过合适的凸轮激活工具终止。 该连接器包括可与配合适配器配合的外壳，例如卡口，保持在外壳后部的骨架，设置在骨架内的套圈保持器，以及设置在套圈保持器和骨架之间的凸轮。 套箍架包括暴露以与凸轮致动工具配合的对准键，以锁定套箍架相对于其他连接器部件的旋转。 凸轮在其前表面处包括凸轮致动切口，凸轮致动切口与凸轮致动工具接口配合以使凸轮能够在停用和致动位置之间旋转，凸轮致动切口还接收穿过其中的套管保持器的对准钥匙。 该凸轮还包括致动场光纤夹具的第一凸轮廓线和致动缓冲夹具的第二凸轮廓线。 该连接器还可以包括对齐平坦部和用于防止各种部件的旋转和轴向运动的特征。 由于凸轮在配合时未暴露，因此可防止无意中断开。
