| 20090279832 | Hermaphroditic Fibre Optical Connector System - The connector system provides two identical hermaphroditic housings, which accomplish a reliable connection of standard optical fiber connectors without the use of an adaptor. The connector system includes a first housing mounted to a first printed wiring board and a second housing mounted to a second printed wiring board. Each housing supports an optical fiber connector therein. Each housing includes an inner member and an outer member Springs are provided between the inner and outer members to provide biasing of the housings in the mating direction of the optical connectors. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100183264 | Hardened Fiber Optic Housing and Cable Assembly - A female fiber optic connector includes an outer housing, a single internal male fiber optic connector, and a fiber optic adapter. The outer housing has a first end, which receives a fiber optic cable, positioned opposite from a second end, which defines a connector port for receiving an external male connector. The single internal male fiber optic connector is positioned within the outer housing and includes a ferrule in which a fiber is terminated. The fiber optic adapter is positioned within the outer housing and includes an alignment sleeve, a first end, which receives the single internal male fiber optic connector with the ferrule of the single internal male fiber optic connector positioned within the alignment sleeve, and an opposite second end facing toward the connector port and being configured so that a ferrule of the external male connector fits within the alignment sleeve when inserted in the connector port. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100202737 | Surface Egress and/or Ingress Housing - A surface egress and/or ingress housing is provided for an elongate flexible member. A front opening in a front surface of the housing can receive a connector for the elongate flexible member. A base of the housing can be at least partially received under an embedding layer for mounting the housing on the surface. An internal cavity in the housing can communicate with the front opening and with a rear opening in the base. The rear opening and the cavity can be wider than the elongate flexible member to facilitate mounting of the housing. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110243503 | OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTOR - An optical fiber connector in accordance with the present invention prevents moisture from entering the optical fiber connector and comprises a core tube, a tightening assembly, a connecting ring, a water-resistant ring, a compressing tube, a water-resistant tube and an end tube. The tightening assembly is mounted tightly on the core tube and comprises a first tightening component and a second tightening component. The connecting ring is mounted on the second tightening component. The annular gasket is mounted on the first tightening component and in the connecting ring. The compressing tube is mounted on the second tightening component. The water-resistant tube is mounted on the compressing tube and the second tightening component. The end tube is mounted on the water-resistant tube. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20140003769 | QUICK CONNECT COUPLER FOR OPTICAL FIBER CABLE | 01-02-2014 |
| 20160025939 | OPTICAL FIBER FASTENING DEVICE - An optical fiber fastening device holds an optical fiber which includes a core and a cladding layer surrounding the core. The cladding layer includes strips peeled from the core. The optical fiber fastening device includes a clamping member and a fastening sleeve. The clamping member includes a first and a second clamping portion buckled together to clamp the optical fiber, with one including at least one locating rod configured for being wrapped around by the strips, and the other including at least one locating hole receiving the at least one locating rod. The fastening sleeve sleeves over and holds the first and the second clamping portion together. | 01-28-2016 |
| 20160085032 | FIBER OPTIC CONNECTION DEVICE WITH RUGGEDIZED TETHERS - A loop back connector and methods for testing lines in a fiber optic network are disclosed. The loop back connector includes a ferrule having an interface side constructed for optical connection to a multifiber optical cable. The loop back connector also includes first and second optical loop back paths, each having first and second terminal ends positioned at the interface side. The terminal ends of each loop back path are adapted to be aligned to fibers in the multifiber optical cable. The method includes injecting a signal on a first optical path at a first location, looping back the signal at a second location onto a second optical path, and receiving the signal on the second optical path at the first location. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160139341 | OPTICAL FIBER SPLICING UNIT, OPTICAL FIBER SPLICING METHOD, AND HOLDING MEMBER FOR OPTICAL FIBER SPLICING UNIT - An optical fiber splicing unit includes: a mechanical splice which aligns optical fibers and puts the optical fibers between half-split elements to splice the optical fibers to each other; a splice holder portion which holds the mechanical splice; fixing member guide portions which respectively guide anchoring fixation members that are respectively fixed to the optical fibers at two sides of the held mechanical splice; anchoring portions which respectively anchor the anchoring fixation members, the anchoring fixation members being respectively guided by the fixing member guide portions and advancing; and a first spacer which abuts one anchoring fixation member and is disposed to be retracted to restrict the advancement of said one anchoring fixation member, said one anchoring fixation member being guided by one fixing member guide portion and advancing. | 05-19-2016 |
