A fiber optic adapter includes a first side wall (), a second side wall () opposite the first side wall, a top wall (), and a bottom wall () opposite the top wall. A cavity () is defined by the top wall, the bottom wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall, and an optical fiber alignment device () is situated in the cavity. The top wall () has an opening () therein, and a cover () is configured to selectively close the opening.

Fiber optic adapter

The present disclosure relates to a fiber alignment device () including a guide feature () defining a fiber alignment groove (). The fiber alignment device () also includes a fiber engagement component () defining a reference surface arrangement and elastic cantilever arms () for pressing optical fibers into the fiber alignment groove (). First portions of the guide feature () engage the reference surface arrangement. Second portions of the guide () feature engage the cantilever arms () to flex the cantilever arms to a staged position.

Device for aligning optical fibers

One embodiment is directed to a system comprising a panel comprising a plurality of openings. The system is configured to selectively couple a panel contact for each opening to an RFID reader. The system further comprises a plurality of optical adapters. Each optical adapter comprises: at least one radio frequency identifier (RFID) antenna; at least one adapter contact that is electrically connected to the RFID antenna; and at least one conductor configured to electrically connect the adapter contact to respective one of respective panel contacts when the optical adapter is inserted into one of the openings of the panel. The RFID antenna of each connector is configured to be positioned near an RFID tag attached to the connector when the connector is inserted into the body of the optical adapter. The system is configured to selectively couple the RFID reader to each of the panel contacts. Other embodiments are disclosed.

RFID-enabled optical adapter for use with a patch panel

One embodiment is directed to an optical adapter comprising a body in which at least one connector can be inserted; at least one radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna and a visual indicator. The optical adapter further comprises at least one adapter contact that is electrically connected to the RFID antenna and the visual indicator; and a clip configured to electrically connect the adapter contact to a panel contact on a panel when the optical adapter is inserted into the panel and to mechanically hold the optical adapter in the panel. The RFID antenna is configured to be positioned near an RFID tag attached to the connector when the connector is inserted into the body of the optical adapter. Other embodiments are disclosed.

The present invention provides an optical fiber connection device comprising a part () of a screw-threadless multi-part () optical fiber cable connector (), the multi-parts () of the connector () being inter-connectable, the part () comprising a body (), the body () comprising: an optical fiber cable connection end () for connection with an optical fiber cable (); a part connection end () for connection with another part () of the multi-part optical fiber cable connector (); and one or more formations () adapted to co-operate with a retainer () in a mounting () for the connector (), the mounting () used to retain the optical fiber cable () and the connector () when the optical fiber cable () is connected to the optical fiber cable connection end () of the body (), the formations () adapted to co-operate with the mounting retainer () to resist rotational and/or axial movement of the connector () when the connector () is assembled with an optical fiber cable () and the other parts () of the connector () and mounted in the mounting ().
