The present disclosure relates to a sealed closure having modular components, enhanced cable sealing, modular connection interfaces, enhanced cable anchoring and enhanced fiber management.

Cable sealant arrangement with port size reducer

Disclosed herein are cable sealing devices having features for enhancing effective sealing, volume compensation, seal pressurization, cable size range-taking, cable installation and insert installation. Also disclosed herein is an enclosure including at least one cable sealing device.

Fiber optic cable sealing device

The present disclosure relates to methods, devices and systems for co-axially aligning first and second optical fibers to provide an optical coupling between the first and second optical fibers. A fiber engagement element is used to force the first and second optical fibers into an alignment groove.

Fiber optic alignment devices; systems; and methods

The present disclosure relates to a ferrule-less multi-fiber connector having features adapted to compensate or adjust for angular misalignment that may occur when the multi-fiber connector is optically connected with a corresponding ferrule-less multi-fiber connector. In one example, the features for adjusting for angular misalignment are integrated in a multi-fiber holder that mounts within a connector body of the fiber optic connector.

Multi-fiber assembly for a ferrule-less fiber optic connector

Systems, methods, and associated components for robotic manipulation of physical objects. The physical objects include three-dimensional gripping features configured to be detected by an optics system and gripped by an end-effector of a robotic arm with sufficient gripping force to move the physical objects against the force of gravity. Sets of the physical objects can have different sizes and shapes and, in some examples, include identically constructed three-dimensional gripping features.

Cable sealant arrangement for a sealed closure

A mechanical connection interface for connecting and releasing optical components is disclosed. The mechanical connection interface includes a slide latch arrangement for securing an optical component such as a splice holder to a structure such as a tray.

Mechanical connection interface for a telecommunications component

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

A cleaving mechanism () and related method is adapted to cleave an optical fiber () and thereby produce a cleaved end on the optical fiber. The cleaving mechanism () includes a fixture (), a cleave tool () for cleaving the optical fiber, and a clamp assembly (). The clamp assembly () may hold the optical fiber without substantial twisting of the optical fiber (). The fixture and/or the clamp assembly () may include a pair of leaf springs () that contact and bend around the optical fiber () to secure the optical fiber () in a clamped position.

Optical fiber clamp

An inspection tool for allowing visual inspection of an end face of a fiber optic ferrule. The inspection tool includes a passage for allowing a camera to view the end face. The inspection tool also includes light directing structure for first directing ferrule illumination light axially along the inspection tool, and then reflecting the axial light across the end face of the fiber optic ferrule.

Fiber optic ferrule inspection tool

Disclosed herein is a method for cleaving an optical fiber. The method includes providing an optical fiber (), which is a bend-insensitive, single-mode optical fiber having a depressed index cladding layer that does not include any air inclusions. The method further includes applying energy to a section of the optical fiber () between a first location of the optical fiber and a second location of the optical fiber. The method also includes mechanically cleaving the optical fiber between the first and second locations of the optical fiber to provide cleaved optical fiber ends.

Heat treatment of fiber to improve cleaving

The present disclosure relates to connector ports with shutters configured to inhibit dust intrusion by including peripheral regions that oppose undercut portions of the connector port when the shutter is closed. The present disclosure also relates to fiber optic connectors having latching configurations with double latches for retaining the fiber optic connectors in connector ports. The present disclosure also relates to a fiber optic connector including a plurality of stacked fiber carrier modules. The present disclosure also relates to a fiber optic connector including a connector body and a rear connector piece that is secured to the connector body by a snap-fit connection. The rear connector piece can be configured for attachment to a fiber optic cable. The rear connector piece can be secured to the connector body by a snap-fit connection. The rear connector piece can have a snap-fit interface compatible with a number of different styles or types of connector bodies to promote manufacturing efficiency.

An interventional device, e.g. a Vacuum Assisted Biopsy (VAB) needle, incorporating optical fibers such that biological tissue in a volume at a side of the interventional device can be substantially completely optically probed by optical spectroscopy. In a VAB embodiment, a plurality of optical fiber pairs connected to respective optical ports, are placed at opposite positions along the suction cavity, and they are readout subsequently allowing to make a map of the tissue properties along the place where the tissue will be cut by the VAB needle. Based on decision software in an optical console, it can be determined whether the tissue present in the cutting cavity is completely normal tissue or not, prior to actually performing the biopsy on the tissue. In this way a well defined end point for VAB is created. In one embodiment, the optical fibers are arranged in a wall structure of a thin sleeve which fits onto existing VAB needles, thus allowing the VAB needle to be upgraded with an optical probing capability.
