Abstract: An apparatus having a plurality of multifiber connector interfaces, where some of these multifiber connector interfaces can connect to network equipment in a network using multifiber cables, has an internal mesh implemented in two tiers. The first is configured to rearrange and the second is configured to recombine individual fiber of the different fiber groups. The light path of each transmitter and receiver is matched in order to provide proper optical connections from transmitting to receiving fibers and complex arbitrary network topologies can be implemented with at least 1/N less point to point interconnections, where N=number of channels per multifiber connector interface.

Abstract: An optical fiber connector ferrule assembly has a ferrule holder and a ferrule partially within the ferrule holder. The ferrule holder has a keying feature for setting the angular orientation of the ferrule assembly within a connector housing. The ferrule includes at least one stand-off feature on the end face of the ferrule for maintaining a controlled air gap spacing when mated to a second compatible ferrule assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates in general to communication systems, and more specifically towards methods, systems, and devices that help improve transmission rates and spectral efficiency of intensity modulated (IM) or power modulated channels utilizing multi-level pulse amplitude modulation PAM-M. In an embodiment, the present invention used an iterative algorithm to open the eyes of an eye diagram in a relatively short number of steps. The algorithm, which may not require previous characterization of the channel, utilizes pseudo-random sequences, such as PSBS15 or PRQS10, and adaptive non-linear equalizers to optimize the pre-distortion taps.
