A release member is mounted at the port of a plug receptacle to enable removal of a plug connector from the port. The plug connector is devoid of releasing structure to enable removal of the plug. The release member moves parallel to or coaxial with a plug insertion axis of the port. The release member is biased to a non-actuated position separately from a plug lock being biased to a locking position. The release member can carry a polarity indicator for the port; various shaped actuation sections; and/or a biasing member for the release member.

The present disclosure relates to a hardened power and optical connection system for use with hybrid cables. The hardened power and optical connection system includes electrical pin and socket contacts for providing power connections, and ferrules for providing optical connections. The hardened power and optical connection system has an integrated fiber alignment provided through a mating relationship between a plug and a socket.

Hardened optical power connection system

The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications connector. The connector includes at least one connector portion including a front housing portion coupled to a rear housing portion, the front housing portion being rotatable relative to the rear housing portion about a longitudinal axis, the front housing portion including a ferrule and a latch, the latch defining front and rear ends and being pivotable relative to the rest of the front housing portion at a connection portion. A boot mounted on the telecommunications connector is movable longitudinally relative to the rear housing portion, wherein the boot is configured to engage at least a portion of the latch of the front housing portion and cause the latch to pivot relative to the rest of the front housing portion as the boot is moved relative to the rear housing portion.

Telecommunications connector with latch release mechanism

The present disclosure relates to an optical fiber alignment device that has an alignment housing that includes first and second ends. The alignment housing defines a fiber insertion axis that extends through the alignment housing between the first and second ends. The alignment housing includes a fiber alignment region at an intermediate location between the first and second ends. First and second fiber alignment rods are positioned within the alignment housing. The first and second fiber alignment rods cooperate to define a fiber alignment groove that extends along the fiber insertion axis. The first and second fiber alignment rods each having rounded ends positioned at the first and second ends of the alignment housing.

Optical fiber connection system including optical fiber alignment device

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

The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic cable and connector assembly including a fiber optic cable and a ferrule-less fiber optic connector. The ferrule-less fiber optic connector includes a main connector body including a distal end and a proximal end. The fiber optic connector also includes a fiber fixation component that mounts within the main connector body and that axially fixes a portion of an optical fiber of the fiber optic cable within the main connector body. The optical fiber includes a bare fiber portion that extends distally beyond the fiber fixation component and includes a free-end portion located at the distal end of the main connector body. The free-end portion is not supported by a ferrule. The optical fiber is anchored relative to the fiber fixation component before the fiber fixation component is mounted within the main connector body.

Ferrule-less fiber optic connector

A portable device for attaching a connector to an optical fiber, the optical fiber having an end, the device comprising means for receiving the optical fiber at the end of the optical fiber; and a connector station for autonomously attaching the connector to the optical fiber.

Portable device for attaching a connector to an optical fiber

A hybrid optical and electrical connection system includes a fiber optic connector; and a connector contact holder. The connector includes a connector body defining a forward plug end, a ferrule, a spring that biases the ferrule in a forward direction, and a rear piece that retains the spring within the connector body. The connector contact holder includes an attachment portion that attaches to the fiber optic connector, a lateral offset portion that extends laterally outwardly from the fiber optic connector and a forward extension structure that projects forwardly from the lateral offset portion toward the forward plug end of the connector body. The forward extension structure includes connector contact mounts. Connector electrical contacts are held by the connector contact mounts.

Indoor hybrid connectivity system for providing both electrical power and fiber optic service

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to detecting an optical signal and/or optical power in a ferrule-less optical fiber. In certain embodiments, one or more optical detectors are incorporated into an adapter that is configured to interface with a connectorized or non-connectorized ferrule-less optical fiber. The optical detector detects the presence or absence, and/or the optical power level, of the optical signal being transmitted through ferrule-less optical fiber and produces an electrical output representative of the detected optical signal.
