    Abstract: An optical fiber connector assembly comprises at least one connector having a latching arm for coupling to an adapter, and a remote release tab having a protrusion configured to cooperate with the adapter to depress said latching arm when the remote release tab is pulled relative to the adapter. The optical fiber connector assembly may further be configured to allow reversing its polarity.

    Abstract: The clip for securing two fiber optic connectors may include a first engagement member having a top surface and a length; a second engagement member spaced apart from the first engagement member; and a linkage member extending between the first and second engagement members and connecting the first engagement member and the second engagement member. A space is defined between the first and second engagement members to house the connectors. The linkage member is configured to separate the two fiber optic connectors when they are sandwiched between the first and second engagement members.

    Abstract: An adapter assembly is formed from an adapter housing with a recess configured to accept an adapter panel hook. The adapter assembly is secured within a panel using the adapter panel hook. The adapter panel hook has opposing side portions connected by a joining plate. Each side portion has an elastic pawl with opposing elastic members. The elastic members are configured to be secured between the adapter outer housing and panel wall opening to reduce vibration at the adapter housing.

    Abstract: A multi-fiber, fiber optic connector may include a reversible keying arrangement for determining the orientation for plugging the connector into an adapter to thereby allow for a change in polarity of the connection to be made on site. The connector housing may be configured to engage with a removable key that may be engaged with the housing in at least two different locations to provide the plug-in orientation, or the housing may have slidably displaceable keys movable between multiple positions on the housing.

    Abstract: A fiber optic connector includes a housing having an internal cavity and a front opening. A back post has an internal cavity, a front opening and a rear opening. The back post is operatively connected to the housing so that the internal cavity of the back post communicates with the internal cavity of the housing. At least two ferrules are disposed at least partially within the internal cavity of the housing and are exposed through the front opening of the housing. Each ferrule has a cylindrical shape and includes a flange. Each ferrule couples to an optical fiber. A fiber guide is coupled to each ferrule. Each fiber guide receives one of the optical fibers. Each fiber guide extends rearward from the ferrule. Each fiber guide extends in the internal cavity of the housing and the internal cavity of the back post. Each fiber guide is bent as the fiber guide extends rearward from the internal cavity of the housing to the internal cavity of the back post.

    Abstract: A fiber optic connector deploys a latch lever release with an elastic rib. When the latch lever release is depressed down or toward the optical axis of the connector, a hook seated within a recess of the connector outer housing, the hook is lifted out of the recess thereby allowing the connector to be removed from the adapter port. A pivot point is formed between the main body of the latch lever release and the connector outer housing. Depressing the latch lever release distal of the pivot point at the trigger portion displaces the hook from the connector thereby allowing the user to remove the connector from a receptacle port, such as an adapter port.
