20120292267 | MOUNTING RAIL WITH INTERNAL POWER CABLE - An adapter kit for mounting an electrical apparatus in a rack includes a pair of rails. The rails are configured to be fitted on respective, opposing outer sides of a case of the apparatus and to slide along corresponding tracks on respective inner sides of the rack. At least one of the rails includes a cable channel configured to contain a cable passing through the cable channel between front and rear faces of the case. | 11-22-2012 |
20130294725 | OPTICAL INTERFACE AND SPLITTER WITH MICRO-LENS ARRAY - An apparatus includes a connector that connects to optical fibers for connecting first and second optical signals to the apparatus. A first optical ferrule is mounted perpendicularly to the connector, and transfers the first optical signals between the connector and first optical transducers mounted on a first substrate, via first holes formed in the first substrate. A second optical ferrule is mounted perpendicularly to the connector, and transfers the second optical signals between the connector and second optical transducers mounted on a second substrate, via second holes formed in the second substrate. A light rotation module bends and transfers the first and second optical signals between the connector and the first and second ferrules. One or more lenses are mounted between the first ferrule and the first holes, so as to couple the first optical signals via the first holes between the first ferrule and the first optical transducers. | 11-07-2013 |
20130294780 | PLANAR OPTICAL INTERFACE AND SPLITTER - An apparatus includes an optical Input/Output (I/O) connector, which has a central axis that is mounted in a plane and which is configured to connect to external optical fibers for transferring input optical signals to the apparatus and output optical signals from the apparatus. A first optical ferrule is mounted perpendicularly to the optical I/O connector in the plane, and is configured to transfer the input optical signals from the optical I/O connector to respective optical detectors. A second optical ferrule is mounted perpendicularly to the optical I/O connector in the plane, and is configured to transfer the output optical signals from respective optical emitters to the optical connector. A light rotation module is configured to bend and transfer the input and output optical signals between the optical I/O connector and the perpendicularly-mounted first and second optical ferrules. | 11-07-2013 |

20140248794 | TRANSCEIVER RECEPTACLE CAGE - A connector cage includes a bezel, having a plurality of slots formed therein, and a cage structure including upper and lower sides and multiple partitions extending between the upper and lower sides to define receptacles for receiving cable connectors. Multiple tabs protrude out of at least one of the sides in locations at which the tabs fit into the slots in the bezel, and are folded over the slots so as to secure the cage structure to the bezel. The cage may also include multiple snap-on spring subassemblies, each spring subassembly secured to a front end of a respective partition and comprising leaves that bow outward to contact the shells of the connectors that are inserted into the receptacles adjacent to the partition. | 09-04-2014 |
20140294339 | COMPACT OPTICAL FIBER SPLITTERS - An apparatus includes one or more optical waveguides, one or more first micro-lenses, and one or more second micro-lenses. The one or more optical waveguides are formed in a substrate and are configured to convey respective optical signals between first ends and second ends of the optical waveguides. The one or more first micro-lenses are disposed on the respective first ends of the optical waveguides and are configured to couple the optical signals between the first ends and respective first optical elements. The one or more second micro-lenses are disposed on the respective second ends of the optical waveguides and are configured to couple the optical signals between the second ends and respective second optical elements. | 10-02-2014 |
20140348468 | TRANSCEIVER SOCKET ADAPTER FOR PASSIVE OPTICAL CABLE - A communication device includes a mechanical shell, which is configured to be inserted into a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) receptacle and contains a notch configured to hold a ferrule for mating with a connector of a passive optical cable. The mechanical shell includes molded upper and lower covers, which are joined together along an assembly line. A pair of elastic clips are molded integrally with at least one of the upper and lower covers and are configured to receive and hold the connector when mated with the ferrule. Circuitry within the shell includes electrical terminals configured to mate with corresponding terminals of the receptacle. | 11-27-2014 |
