An optical signal device for connecting to a receptacle of an optical motherboard includes an optical module and an optical connector coupled to the optical module. The optical connector attaches to the receptacle of the optical motherboard to optically connect the optical module to the optical motherboard. The optical connector has a first optical interface axis and a second optical interface axis different from the first optical interface axis. The optical connector is configured to convey optical signals to and/or from the optical motherboard along at least one of the first or second optical interface axes.

Optical signal device

Fiber optic network systems are implemented, at least in part, using very small form factor (VSFF) interconnect components such as VSFF duplex connector; VSFF mechanical transfer ferrule (MT) connector; VSFF duplex uniboot connector; VSFF MT uniboot connector; VSFF duplex adapter; VSFF MT adapter; VSFF duplex pluggable transceiver; VSFF MT pluggable transceiver; VSFF patch cable assembly; VSFF trunk cable; and/or VSFF breakout cable. The VSFF fiber optic network systems can define fiber breakout cabling that connects large trunk cables to many peripheral network locations. The network systems can define branches and sub-branches from a trunk cable. The network systems can define cross-connect sub-networks between sets of transceivers or adapters. The network systems can define a trunk-to-transceiver cabling assembly for connecting a trunk cable to at least 32 transceiver ports.

Fiber optic network systems

An optoelectronic module and optoelectronic connector assemblies can be used for releasable connection of a laser source to the module from a location exterior to the module. The construction of the optoelectronic connector assemblies is such that both in connection and disconnection, the electrical contacts are broken before the optical contacts so that the laser may power down before the optical connection is broken. The optoelectronic connection assemblies have blind mating features. Some versions are free of any latching or mechanical interconnection of the optoelectronic connector assemblies to each other. A spring has a construction which permits it to be received onto a cable by lateral movement of the spring.

Optoelectronic connections to printed circuit boards

A connection system may include fiber optic connectors and an optical receptacle into which the connectors are plugged. The fiber optic connectors are constructed so that the width of the connectors is small. Eight fiber optic connectors can be received in an opening of a QSFP style transceiver.

Narrow width optical connector and optical receptacle

A receptacle for receiving and securing one or more fiber optical connectors and ferrule assembly opposing each other in a secured position deploying an interconnect assembly. A first side of the interconnect assembly has one or more sets of opposing hooks at a first end to accept and secure a connector or ferrule assembly. A second end of the interconnect assembly receives a ferrule assembly secured with a stopper.

A cassette with a first and second end. Each end may have a plural of receptacles capable of accepting one or more connector types. The cassette may have a pair of latches on opposing sides, or a latch and flange to secure cassette within a panel or support structure. The cassette is configured to accept a first connector type on the first side and a second connector type on the second side of the cassette, so the first and second connecter are opposing and in communication.

Cassette assembly for a plural of fiber optic receptacles

An adapter assembly with an adapter housing and a cross-bar. The cross-bar when depressed release one or more fiber optic connectors secured with the one or more adapter ports. The cross-bar is replaced with a return spring that secures a release tab with ribs on one side of the release tab body. The number of ribs determines the number of connectors that can be released together when the user pulls on the release tab shaft.

A managed fiber optic connector assembly formed with an optical fiber management enclosure. The optical fiber management enclosure is formed with a back body as one-piece to form an integrated fiber optic management enclosure, or fiber optic management enclosure is inserted into the back body form a two-piece enclosure. The fiber management enclosure has a plural of channels, for example, an upper channel and a lower channel that retain, separate and guide a plural of optical fibers that are accepted through a port at a distal end of the managed fiber optic connector assembly.

A fiber optic adapter for mating an opposing MT ferrule connectors. An adapter housing formed from a top and bottom portion holds a pair of opposing MT ferrules. The adapter housing is stackable on its vertical side.

A cassette with a first and second end. Each end may have a plural of receptacles capable of accepting one or more connector types. The cassette may have a pair of latches on opposing sides, or a latch and flange to secure cassette within a panel or support structure. The cassette is configured to accept a first connector type on the first side and a second connector type on the second side of the cassette, so the first and second connector are opposing and in communication.
