Abstract: An insulator for a test clip is described. The insulator includes a first clip cover configured to removably attach to a top portion of a test clip. The test clip comprises a top portion and a bottom portion pivotally attached to the top portion along a pivot axis. The insulator also comprises a second clip cover configured to removably attach to the bottom portion of the test clip. Each of the first and the second clip cover comprises one or more retaining elements configured to secure the clip cover to its respective portion of the test clip. In some implementations, each of the first and the second clip cover comprises one or more cantilevered retaining segments configured to extend over a portion of the test clip in order to secure the first and the second clip covers to the test clip.

Abstract: A banana plug center pin with a raised break point is disclosed. The banana plug center pin comprises a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion has a first diameter, and the bottom portion has a second diameter. The banana plug center pin with a raised break point further includes a locking ring peripherally surrounding the center pin at the interface of the top portion and the bottom portion. Additionally, the banana plug center pin has a fillet feature coupled to the bottom portion and the locking ring. In one embodiment, the interface of the top portion and the bottom portion is located such that when the center pin is inserted into a banana jack, the interface is disposed above a top edge of the banana jack.

Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to create a low cost, easy to use, fiber end face and or connector inspection tool component that easily adapts and converts most all mobile communication devices with camera, screen and software capabilities into a microscope. The invention encapsulates and holds firm a fiber connector body and or fiber connector bodies and or ferrule housing or ferrule housings for the purpose of viewing the cleanliness and quality of the fiber end face and or faces. A Fiber end face is the component area and or areas the embodies the fiber core and or fiber cores, fiber ferrule end and or ferrule ends and fiber related end component and or components that are instrumental in the mating with other like components with fiber connector plug end faces and or related optical fiber components for the purpose connectors and splices prior to connecting and or join optical fibers where a connect/disconnect capability is required.

Abstract: A multi-tool for fiber optic applications is disclosed. In one embodiment, the multi-tool includes a male fiber loopback plug. The multi-tool further includes a fiber coupler having a first end and a second end. The first end of the fiber coupler is able to receive the male fiber loopback plug when the multi-tool is in a closed position. Also, the first end of the fiber coupler is able to receive a loose fiber cable end when the multi-tool is in an open position. The multi-tool also includes an end cap which can be removably coupled to the second end of the fiber coupler. The end cap and the fiber coupler cooperatively provide a protective housing for a fiber cable end when the end cap is removably coupled to the second end of the fiber coupler and the fiber cable end is inserted into the first end of the fiber coupler. Further, the male fiber loopback plug and the fiber coupler collectively make a female fiber loopback plug when the male fiber loopback plug is in a closed position and the end cap is removed from the second end of the fiber coupler. Also, a dust-resistant housing protectively encloses the male fiber loopback plug, the fiber coupler, and the end cap such that the multi-tool is protected from dust intrusion when the male fiber loopback plug is in the closed position and the cap is coupled to the second end of the fiber coupler.
