Abstract: Optical fibers of a multi-fiber cable are grouped into connection units. The distal ends of the fibers of each connection unit are terminated at a connection unit body that attaches to a tapering cable core formed of longer ones of the connection units. After deployment of the cable, two or more connection units can be stacked together to form a connector or inserted into a connector shell. Prior to deployment of the cable, at least some of the connection units are spaced from each other along the cable. For example, individual connection units may be disposed at one end of the tapering cable core and stacks of connection units may be disposed at the other end of the tapering cable core.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications connector. The connector includes at least one connector portion including a front housing portion coupled to a rear housing portion. The front housing portion defines a front end and a rear end, the front housing portion including a ferrule terminating a cable fixed to the at least one connector portion, the front housing portion further including a latch that is configured to contact a fiber optic adapter for locking the connector to the fiber optic adapter when the connector is inserted into the fiber optic adapter, wherein the latch is movable about a connection location on the front housing portion. The latch defines a permanently attached rear extension that extends rearward past the rear end of the front housing portion, the rear extension configured to be contacted for moving the latch for freeing the connector from the fiber optic adapter.

Abstract: A fiber optic connector has a plug region at a first axial end and an anchor region at a second axial end. The anchor region includes first interlock members which protrude outwardly from a support portion. A crimp sleeve can be disposed over the anchor region of the plug connector so that a surrounding portion (e.g., a jacket and/or strength members) of the cable extends between the crimp sleeve and the first interlock members. When the plug connector is assembled, second interlock members can be formed in the crimp sleeve to extend radially into gaps between the first interlock members to enhance retention of the surrounding portion of the cable therebetween.
