20140112628 | FIBER OPTIC CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLING - Fiber optic cable sub-assemblies having a fiber optic cable including at least one optical fiber attached to a circuit board are disclosed. The circuit board includes an active optical component in operable communication with the optical fiber for forming an active optical cable (AOC) assembly. A strain relief device attaches an end portion of the fiber optic cable to the circuit board, thereby forming the cable sub-assembly. Methods of assembling the fiber optic cable sub-assembly are also disclosed and include the step of attaching an end portion of the fiber optic cable to the circuit board. | 04-24-2014 |
20140112632 | CABLE BEND RELIEF FOR FIBER OPTIC SUB-ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLING - Fiber optic cable sub-assemblies having an end cap device with an internal bend relief are disclosed. In one embodiment, the fiber optic cable sub-assembly has at least one optical fiber of a fiber optic cable attached to a circuit board with the end cap device providing strain relief to the fiber optic cable. The circuit board includes an active optical component in operable communication with the optical fiber for forming an active optical cable (AOC) assembly. Additionally, a strain relief device may be used for attaching an end portion of the fiber optic cable to the circuit board, thereby forming the cable sub-assembly. Methods of assembling the fiber optic cable sub-assembly are also. | 04-24-2014 |
20140118891 | REMOVABLE BYPASS PLUGS FOR NETWORK INTERFACE DEVICE LINE MODULES - A Network Interface Device (NID) line module that includes a module housing configured to receive, in one or more cavities, a removable plug component containing a bridging contact. The line module has a subscriber wire contact connected to a plurality of subscriber wires and a provider wire contact connected to a plurality of provider wires. The bridging contact contacts the subscriber wire contact and the provider wire contact making an electrical connection between the subscriber wire contact and the provider wire contact when the removable plug component is installed in the module housing. When the removable plug component is removed and detached from the one or more cavities on the module housing, the electrical connection between the subscriber wire contact and provider wire contact is broken. | 05-01-2014 |
