Abstract: A connection system for a printed circuit board employs either an inline or transverse board-mounted connector for holding board-mounted optical fibers. A plug-in connector can blind mate with the board-mounted connector. The plug-in connector has a plug-in connector body, a plug-in ferrule, and a plug-in ferrule holder. The plug-in holder latches with the plug-in connector body at either of two positions to selectively configure the plug-in connector for blind mating with either the inline or transverse board-mounted connector. The board-mounted fibers can be supported by a board-mounted ferrule assembly including a ferrule and a ferrule holder that is configured to selectively attach the board-mounted ferrule assembly to either of an inline board-mounted connector body and a transverse board-mounted connector body.

Abstract: An optical fiber connector includes an optical fiber ferrule and a single-piece housing in which the ferrule is received. The housing can be installed in an adapter to make an optical connection. A rotational locking mechanism has a rotor mounted on the housing for rotation with respect the housing about a rotational axis. The rotor can be rotated between a locked position and an unlocked position. The rotational locking mechanism is configured to inhibit the housing from being withdrawn from the adapter in the locked position of the rotor and to permit the housing to be withdrawn from the adapter in the unlocked position, and further comprising a guide pin, wherein the housing comprises an integral guide pin retainer configured to hold the guide pin in place on the housing.

Abstract: Optical fiber connectors and adapters are disclosed. A connector assembly includes a sleeve seal positioned near a proximal end of the connector, the seal fits over an alignment sleeve contained within an adapter. The connector may include a heat shrinkable tubing covering a distal end of the connector to prevent ingress of moisture and debris. The sleeve seal is compressed by a proximal face of a connector plug frame. The sleeve seal contains a plural of sealing or mating surfaces to prevent the ingress of moisture through the adapter opening into the plug frame housing a ferrule. The adapter further comprises a washer-seal that is placed between an adapter flange face and a module face plate that secures the adapter with connectors therein to a rack of adapters.

Abstract: A hybrid ingress protection adapter and connector assembly, connecting the housing with a releasably replaceable connector and power assembly to an adapter that is mount on a panel. The connector has a pair of lead-ins that protect a ferrule of a plural of fiber optic connectors, and the lead-ins are of varying length allow blind mating of the connector assembly with the adapter assembly.
