Abstract:
An optical connector for terminating an optical fiber may include a ferrule, an optical fiber, and an adhesive composition. The ferrule may include a fiber-receiving passage defining an inner surface and the adhesive composition may be disposed within the ferrule and in contact with the inner surface of the ferrule and the optical fiber. The adhesive composition may include a partially cross-linked resin and a coupling agent that provides chemical coupling between the partially cross-linked resin and the optical fiber and/or the ferrule.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a splice-on connector configuration having connector body defining a forward fiber buckling region and a rearward splice encapsulation region. The splice encapsulation region can be filled with curable adhesive. The splice encapsulation region can also function to anchor a fiber optic cable.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a type of optical fibre connector, comprising: an external shell; an internal shell, installed within said external shell; an inserted core component, contained within said internal shell and comprising an inserted core and a length of optical fibre pre-installed within said inserted core; and a spring, contained within said internal shell and located behind said inserted core, and being for exerting a pre-set axial force on said inserted core. Said internal shell includes a front part and a rear part; said rear part is assembled on said front part. Additionally, said spring is compressed between said rear part and said inserted core. In the present invention, the rear part can act as a retainer for the compressed spring and can also be for securing the Kevlar fibre extension tube of the optical cable. As a result, in comparison to the prior art, the present invention reduces the number of components of the optical fibre connector and simplifies the structure of the optical fibre connector, thus facilitating rapid on-site assembly of the optical fibre connector.
Abstract:
An LC format optical connector (300) for terminating an optical fiber includes a housing (310) configured to mate with an LC receptacle, the housing (310) including a shell (312), a first resilient latch (315) disposed on a surface of the shell (312), and a backbone (316). The LC format connector (300) also includes a collar body (320) disposed in the housing (310) and retained between the outer shell (312) and the backbone (316), wherein the collar body (320) includes a fiber stub (334) disposed in a first portion of the collar body (320). The collar body (320) further includes a mechanical splice (340) disposed in a second portion of the collar body (320), the mechanical splice (340) configured to splice the second end of the fiber stub (334) to a second optical fiber. The resilient latch (315) of the LC format connector (300) further is a single piece latch including a trigger (336) formed thereon.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses an optical fibre connector, comprising: a housing, a ferrule installed within said housing; an end sleeve, connecting to the rear end of said housing; and an optical cable clamp, installed by insertion within said end sleeve, being provided for the purpose of clamping an optical cable. Said optical cable is secured within said optical cable clamp, and after said optical cable clamp is inserted and secured within said end sleeve, the optical fibre of said optical cable is inserted within said housing and butt-joined with the embedded optical fibre within said ferrule. As a result of this, before the butt-joined optical fibres are locked in, the optical cable has already been secured within the optical cable clamp and fixed to the connector housing. Therefore, the butt-joined optical fibres cannot be separated due to the effects of unexpected pulling force, thus ensuring the optical fibre of the optical cable reliably abuts the embedded optical fibre.
Abstract:
An optical fiber splicer includes a fiber fixing portion, a first optical fiber fixed to the fiber fixing portion, a clamp portion which is capable of holding and fixing an extending portion extended from the fiber fixing portion of the first optical fiber and a tip portion of a second optical fiber optically connected to the extending portion of the first optical fiber between a base member and a pressing member being openable and closable with respect to the base member, and a solid index matching material which is attached to a tip surface of the extending portion of the first optical fiber and is interposed between the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber.
Abstract:
An optical fiber connection structure is provided, in which a first optical fiber and a second optical fiber, which is optically connected to the first optical fiber via a solid refractive index-matching material which is provided on a tip surface of the first optical fiber, are held and fixed between a base member and a cover member, a tip of the second optical fiber is disposed so as to come into contact with the solid refractive index matching material or separated from the solid refractive index-matching material, and the entire solid refractive index matching material and the tip of the second optical fiber are disposed in a liquid refractive index matching agent which is provided between the base member and the cover member.
Abstract:
A device for aligning a first and a second optical fibers each comprising an end mounted into a ferrule (1, 2), comprising: - an alignment tube (5) in which the two ferrules are mounted in an interference fit, the two ferrules being opposite and spaced with each other; - an optical component (7, 7', 7") that provides for both a non-physical contact and a low optical coupling loss between the first and second fibers, said component being positioned by a spacer (6) substantially at the midpoint between the first fiber (3) and the second fiber (4), such that the image of the end face of the first fiber (3) is coincident with the end face of the second fiber (4).
