Devices such as terminals comprising connection ports with associated securing features and methods for making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the device comprises a shell, at least one connection port, and at least one securing feature. The at least one connection port is disposed on the terminal with the at least one connection port comprising an optical connector opening extending from an outer surface of the terminal to a cavity of the terminal and defining a connection port passageway. The securing feature is associated with the connection port passageway and is biased by a resilient member having a predetermined pre-load restoring force to the retain position.

Dustplug for a multiport optical connection device

Devices such as multiports comprising connection ports with associated rotating actuators that engage securing members and methods for making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the device comprises a shell, at least one connection port, and at least one rotating actuator that engages with a complimentary securing member. The at least one connection port is disposed on the multiport with the at least one connection port comprising an optical connector opening extending from an outer surface of the multiport to a cavity of the multiport and defining a connection port passageway. The at least one securing member is associated with the connection port passageway, and turning the rotating actuators allows the release of an optical connector disposed in the connection port.

Multiports and other devices having optical connection ports with rotating actuators and methods of making the same

Double stack multiport for making optical connections

Fiber optic connectors, cable assemblies and methods for making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the optical connector comprises a housing and a ferrule. The housing comprises a longitudinal passageway between a rear end and a front end. The optical connectors disclosed may be tunable for improving optical performance and may also include a spring for biasing the ferrule to a forward position as desired.

Compact fiber optic connectors, cable assemblies and methods of making the same

Fiber optic connectors and connectorized fiber optic cables include connector housings having locking portions defined on the connector housing that allow the connector housing to be selectively coupled to a corresponding push-button securing member of a multiport assembly. Methods for selectively connecting a fiber optic connector to, and disconnecting the fiber optic connector from the multiport assemblies allow for connector housings to be forcibly and nondestructively removed from the multiport assembly.

Multiports and optical connectors with rotationally discrete locking and keying features

Dust plug assemblies and methods of their fabrication are disclosed. In one embodiment, a dust plug assembly includes a dust plug body having a lanyard receiving feature, and a sealing sleeve attached to an end of the dust plug body. The sealing sleeve has a passageway therethrough, and the lanyard receiving feature is disposed within the passageway. The dust plug body and the sealing sleeve define a primary groove. The dust plug assembly further includes a lanyard having an attachment feature. The attachment feature is coupled to the lanyard receiving feature, and the lanyard and the sealing sleeve define a secondary groove.

Dust plugs for sealing multiport terminals and methods of fabricating the same

Fiber optic connectors and connectorized fiber optic cables include connector housings having locking portions defined on the connector housing that allow the connector housing to be selectively coupled to a corresponding push-button securing member of a multiport assembly. Methods for selectively connecting a fiber optic connector to and disconnecting the fiber optic connector from the multiport assemblies allow for connector housings to be forcibly and nondestructively removed from the multiport assembly.

Fiber optic connectors and multiport assemblies including retention features

Fiber optic connectors comprising compact footprints along with cable assemblies and methods for making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the optical connector comprises a housing and a ferrule. The housing comprises a longitudinal passageway between a rear end and a front end. The optical connectors disclosed may be tunable for improving optical performance and may include a spring for biasing the ferrule to a forward position as desired.

Multifiber connector for making optical connections

Multiport for making optical connections

Fiber optic connectors, connector housings, connectorized cable assemblies, and methods for the connectorization of cable assemblies are provided with particular cable adapter features, adapter extensions, multi-diametrical sealing flexures, subcutaneous sealing elements, and combinations thereof, for improved connector and cable performance, integrity, and durability.
