Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a ferrule-less multi-fiber connector having features adapted to compensate or adjust for angular misalignment that may occur when the multi-fiber connector is optically connected with a corresponding ferrule-less multi-fiber connector. In one example, the features for adjusting for angular misalignment are integrated in a multi-fiber holder that mounts within a connector body of the fiber optic connector.

Abstract: A fiber optic adapter includes an adapter body defining a port leading to an alignment structure. The optical adapter also defines a platform disposed at the first port. The platform is recessed inwardly from an outer periphery of the adapter body. The platform includes latching members having catch surfaces. A fiber optic connector includes a connector plug body holding an optical fiber. The connector also includes a latching arm having a latching end that defines two rearwardly facing catch surfaces separated by a central webbing, which extends along a length of the latching arm. The rearwardly facing catch surfaces align with the catch surfaces of the latching members when the fiber optic connector is received at the fiber optic adapter.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to connector ports with shutters configured to inhibit dust intrusion by including peripheral regions that oppose undercut portions of the connector port when the shutter is closed. The present disclosure also relates to fiber optic connectors having latching configurations with double latches for retaining the fiber optic connectors in connector ports. The present disclosure also relates to a fiber optic connector including a plurality of stacked fiber carrier modules. The present disclosure also relates to a fiber optic connector including a connector body and a rear connector piece that is secured to the connector body by a snap-fit connection. The rear connector piece can be configured for attachment to a fiber optic cable. The rear connector piece can be secured to the connector body by a snap-fit connection. The rear connector piece can have a snap-fit interface compatible with a number of different styles or types of connector bodies to promote manufacturing efficiency.

Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to an alignment device that includes a groove-type alignment structure with a support region for receiving an optical fiber inserted along a fiber insertion axis. The optical fiber has a first side and a second, opposite side. The groove-type alignment structure engages the first side of the optical fiber. The alignment device includes a stabilization structure that engages the first side of the optical fiber and a first angled transition surface that engages the second, opposite side of the optical fiber. The present disclosure also relates to an alignment system that includes a first housing piece; a second housing piece adapted to mate with the first housing piece; and a flat structure positioned between the first and second housing pieces.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fiber optic connection systems including fiber optic connector having retractable noses for protecting bare fiber ends of ferrule-less connectors. In certain examples, the retractable noses are used in combination with protective shutters. In other examples, the retractable noses can accommodate multiple optical fibers.

Abstract: A fiber optic adapter includes a first side wall (110), a second side wall (112) opposite the first side wall, a top wall (114), and a bottom wall (116) opposite the top wall. A cavity (10) is defined by the top wall, the bottom wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall, and an optical fiber alignment device (20) is situated in the cavity. The top wall (114) has an opening (117) therein, and a cover (118) is configured to selectively close the opening.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic adapter having a footprint/form factor compatible with an SC adapter mounting structure or an LC adapter mounting structure or both the SC and LC adapter mounting structures. The adapter body may include first and second co-axially aligned connector ports for respectively receiving first and second fiber optic connectors. The fiber optic adapter may also include a fiber alignment structure configured to accommodate at least 12 optical fibers (e.g., 12 non-ferrulized optical fibers) for each of the first and second connector ports. Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a fiber optic adapter with linearly moveable, spring biased shutters. A further aspect of the present disclosure relates to a ferrule-less fiber optic connector that may include a telescopic shroud and a safety lock for locking the shroud in a fiber protecting position. A further aspect of the present disclosure relates to a ferrule-less fiber optic connector with a spring-biased fiber holder.
