    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure are drawn to methods for producing a fused connector termination. An exemplary method may include setting a specification requirement to be met by the fused connector termination and applying an amount of heat to a proximal region of an unfused connector termination. The proximal region of the unfused connector termination may include an inner optical fiber coaxially positioned within an outer ferrule, and applying the amount of heat may at least partially fuse the optical fiber to the outer ferrule to form an at least partially fused connector termination. The method may also include imaging the proximal region of the at least partially fused connector termination and determining, based on the imaging, whether the proximal region of the at least partially fused connector termination meets the specification.

    摘要: A factory processed and assembled optical fiber arrangement is configured to pass through tight, tortuous spaces when routed to a demarcation point. A connector housing attaches to the optical fiber arrangement at the demarcation point (or after leaving the tight, tortuous spaces) to form a connectorized end of the optical fiber. A fiber tip is protected before leaving the factory until connection is desired.

    摘要: An optical system (20) is provided that includes a first conduit (22A), a second conduit (228) and a conduit coupler (24). The first conduit (22A) includes a first optics line (28A) and a first fluid passage (44A) extending longitudinally along the first optics line (28A). The second conduit (228) includes a second optics line (288) and a second fluid passage (44B) extending longitudinally along the second optics line (28B). The conduit coupler (24) removably connects the first conduit (22A) to the second conduit (228) at an interface within the conduit coupler (24). The first optics line (28A) is optically coupled to the second optics line (288) at the interface. The first fluid passage (44A) is fluidly coupled with the second fluid passage (44B) at the interface.
