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.

Fiber optic connectors and connectorization employing adhesive admitting adapters

Multiport for 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 multifiber ferrule. The housing comprises a longitudinal passageway between a rear end and a front end, and a rear portion of the housing comprises a keying portion and at least one locking feature integrally formed in the rear portion of the housing.

Fiber optic connectors having a keying structure and methods of making the same

Multiport assemblies comprising one or more optical ports for receiving an external optical fiber connector for making an optical connection along with useful mounting features for securing the multiport assembly are disclosed. The multiport assembly comprises a mounting member having an aperture and a standoff that is coupled to a shell. The standoff extends outward from a lower surface of the shell to allow easy mounting to irregular surfaces. In another embodiment, the multiport assembly may comprise a second mounting member with an aperture and standoff that is received in a rear shell aperture to inhibit damage to the multiport assembly if a fastener is over-tightened during mounting. In further embodiments, the multiport assembly may comprise a dust plug having a locking feature and a keying port that is received in an optical port for inhibiting dirt, dust or debris from entering when the optical port is not in use.
