Abstract: A fiber-optic adapter with enhanced alignment is described. The adapter has two opposing housing halves and two opposing floating connector latches. Each housing half has a channel. The channels are configured to align when the two housing halves are secured together. The channels of the housing halves also have pockets which are configured to utilize a clearance fit, allowing the connector latches to float when the housing halves are secured together.

Abstract: A duplex clip assembly for LC fiber optic plug connectors has a duplex housing, a crimp sleeve, and a housing cover. The duplex housing retains a portion of each fiber optic plug connector such as to allow each fiber optic plug connector to rotate relative to the duplex housing. The housing also has a bottom snap located on an underside. The housing cover encloses and retains the duplex housing with a clearance between the housing cover and the rest of the assembly. The housing cover also has a slot located on an underside configured to engage the bottom snap of the duplex housing such that the clearance fit allows an application of pressure on the sides of the housing cover to result in the slot being disengaged from the bottom snap. The clip assembly can also have a boot securely attached to the housing partially enclosing the fiber optic cable.

Abstract translation: 用于LC光纤插头连接器的双面夹子组件具有双面外壳，压接套筒和外壳盖。 双面外壳保留每个光纤插头连接器的一部分，以允许每个光纤插头连接器相对于双面外壳旋转。 外壳还具有位于底面的底部卡扣。 外壳盖包围并保持双面外壳，外壳盖和组件的其余部分之间具有间隙。 壳体盖还具有位于下侧上的狭槽，其构造成接合双面壳体的底部卡扣，使得间隙配合允许在壳体盖的侧面上施加压力以导致槽与底部卡扣脱离接合。 夹子组件还可以具有牢固地附接到壳体的部分包围光纤电缆的引导件。

Abstract: This application describes several embodiments of a duplex clip assembly for use in aiding the insertion and removal of a pair of LC fiber optic connectors. In one embodiment, the assembly includes a clip body with a hood. The clip body has a central wall, upper tabs and lower tabs configured to loosely retain a pair of LC connectors such as to allow the clip body to move axially relative to the LC connectors. The hood is configured to engage a camming surface on the LC connector latches when the clip body is moved axially rearward relative to the LC connector. In a second embodiment, the assembly includes a duplex housing and a housing cover. The duplex housing retains the LC connectors such as to allow them to rotate. The housing cover has a hood protruding from the top configured to engage a camming surface on the LC connector latches.
