    Abstract: A multi-polarity fiber optic connector is configured to provide a plurality of connector polarity options. Two LC connectors are grouped together using a duplex cable boot assembly which is secured over a backpost extending from a plug frame of each LC connector. Each LC connector has a release latch attached to the outer surface of the plug frame. A dual release latch has a hook that secures the dual release latch to the duplex cable boot. The dual latch release is configured to depress each LC connector latch release together. To change the duplex LC connector from a first polarity to a second polarity, a user pulls on one of the two cable boots that makes up the duplex cable boot assembly and then rotates each LC connector housing, or the user pulls on the dual latch release and then rotates each LC connector housing. User rotates each LC connector housing 180 degrees about a longitudinal axis of the LC connector to change the connector polarity from a first polarity to a second polarity where the first polarity is opposite the second polarity.

    Abstract: Connection systems for use in fiber optic communication networks and systems are disclosed. Embodiments of backplane connection systems are disclosed that include a daughterboard connector that can make with a backplane connector. One of the connectors can include a movable latch element that can bend a bendable arm on the other connector to latch and unlatch the connectors. A connector can include a movable blocking element that prevents a latch control element from moving its full range when the connectors are disconnected. A latch control element can have a range of motion along which it maintains the connection system in a latched configuration. A mounting system is also disclosed that permits a connector to flow or move along the board in a limited range of motion with respect to three axes.

    Abstract: An optical fiber connector, an optical fiber adapter and an optical fiber connection system. The optical fiber connector (110) is configured to be mated with the optical fiber adapter (160). The optical fiber connector (110) includes an inner housing (111), a ferrule assembly (121), a rear body (122), an elastic member (133), and a sealing component (134). The sealing component (134) is clamped between the inner housing (111) and the rear body (122). The optical fiber adapter is configured to receive the optical fiber coupler. The optical fiber connection system includes the above-mentioned optical fiber connector and the optical fiber adapter.

    Abstract: An outdoor rated ingress protected connector assembly is formed by a mating connector and a first connector. A lock ring secures the mating connector and first connector together. An outer collar nut is displaceable to unlock the connector assembly to gain access to the internal components. The mating connector and first connector have a fiber optic connector secured therein, which form a transmission pathway when the connector assembly is formed.

    Abstract: Splicing or connecting optical fibers extending from a first ferrule and a second ferrule is accomplished using heat or epoxy. Two half ferrules of differing dimensions or the same dimensions are secured together using a pair of guide pins. One of the two ferrules is biased by a spring forward and against a second ferrule to form the mechanical transfer ferrule. The mechanical transfer ferrule is secured within an inner housing of a fiber optic connector by a spring push that is secure to a distal end of the inner housing. A slidable outer housing biased forward by an elastic arm that ensures the fiber optic connector with the spliced two half ferrules is secured within an adapter port.

    Abstract: A fiber optic connector having a set of opposing pins set in a recess configured to accept a corresponding spring therein. The springs are placed on either side of the fiber optic cable bundle and secured within pinkeep. The dual or outer springs help prevent rotation of the ferrule assembly during use.
