A connector including two connector portions each including a ferrule and a latch, each latch including a distal end, and a proximal end, wherein the latch is pivotable about an intermediate connection portion; and a boot mounted to the connector portions, the boot movable longitudinally relative to the connector portions, wherein the boot causes the distal ends of the latch to pivot toward the ferrule of each connector portion as the boot is moved away from the connector portions. Front housings of the connector portions can each be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the ferrule without rotating the ferrule or the boot, to change the polarity of the two connector portions. The spacing between the two ferrules is adjustable. A holder holds the connector portions, the holder including side slots, the connector portions mounted to the holder by moving laterally to the side slots. The holder defines an area for receipt of a fiber optic cable when the ferrule is pushed in a direction toward the boot.

Fiber optic connector

A connector assembly () is disclosed in which a connector part () and a cable manager part () are provided. The cable manager part () can be provided with a rear housing (), a lacing fixture part (), and a grounding part (). In one aspect, the grounding part () provides grounding contact between an inserted cable () and the connector part (). In one aspect, the grounding part () secures the connector part () to the rear housing part (). In one example, a connector assembly () is provided with a grounding arrangement () including a plurality of deflectable grounding members () and provides grounding contact between the inserted cable () and the connector part (). In one aspect, the grounding members () each provide two points of contact against the cable ().

Connector assembly with grounding

A connector arrangement includes a plug nose body; a printed circuit board positioned within a cavity of the plug nose body; and a plug cover that mounts to the plug nose body to enclose the printed circuit board within the cavity. The printed circuit board includes a storage device configured to store information pertaining to the electrical segment of communications media. The plug cover defines a plurality of slotted openings through which the second contacts are exposed. A connector assembly includes a jack module and a media reading interface configured to receive the plug. A patch panel includes multiple jack modules and multiple media reading interfaces.

Managed electrical connectivity systems

A telecommunications patch panel system () including a plurality of multiport telecommunications bezel assemblies () installed within a panel frame () is presented. The bezel assemblies () are formed from cooperating first and second frame parts () to define a plurality of jack receptacle openings (). In one example, the plurality of jack receptacles () are arranged in a two-row array. The first and second frame parts () also retain a central bonding strip () having a plurality of grounding contact elements (). The grounding contact elements () ground the jack modules () that are installed within the bezel assembly jack receptacle openings (). Where a two-row array of jack receptacle openings () is provided, the central bonding strip () can be configured to extend between the rows. The central bonding strip () can provide grounding for multiple bezel assemblies ().

A fixture is for forming a fiber optic array that defines a plurality of discrete fibers extending from a spaced-apart arrangement to a consolidated arrangement wherein the fibers are layered next to each other for a further ribbonizing process. The fixture includes a pair of contact blades that are configured to slide along a direction transverse to the longitudinal axes of the fibers for consolidating the fibers.

Tooling and method for manufacturing a fiber optic array

An electric connector is provided to ensure reliable termination of cable wires having different sizes. The electric connector can include a housing, a plurality of contacts, and a wire holder. The wire holder includes a wire support extension configured to be at least partially inserted into the housing. The wire support extension defines a plurality of wire receiving passages configured to arrange a plurality of first wires thereon and align the first wires with contact insert slots of the housing, respectively, when the wire support extension is inserted to the housing. The wire holder further includes a plurality of wire support ribs configured to centralize second wires smaller than the first wires.
