Abstract: An optoelectronic module and optoelectronic connector assemblies can be used for releasable connection of a laser source to the module from a location exterior to the module. The construction of the optoelectronic connector assemblies is such that both in connection and disconnection, the electrical contacts are broken before the optical contacts so that the laser may power down before the optical connection is broken. The optoelectronic connection assemblies have blind mating features. Some versions are free of any latching or mechanical interconnection of the optoelectronic connector assemblies to each other. A spring has a construction which permits it to be received onto a cable by lateral movement of the spring.

Abstract: An optical connector module having a plurality of discrete optical benches inputting/outputting optical signals, each including: a base defining an array of reflective surfaces and supporting an array of optical fiber array defining optical channels with inputs/outputs in optical alignment with corresponding reflective surfaces, thereby forming optical inputs/outputs of the corresponding optical bench. A carrier commonly supports the optical benches, with the optical benches fixedly mount thereon in a desired spatial arrangement with the optical inputs/outputs of the optical benches matching optical inputs/outputs of the external optical component. The carrier is structured to physically connect to the external component. The carrier includes passive alignment features for demountable coupling to the external component, wherein the carrier is at least one of directly mounted to the top of the external component, or detachably mounted to the external component via a receptacle or foundation positioned relative to the inputs/outputs of the external component.

Abstract: A hermetic optical fiber alignment assembly includes a ferrule portion having a plurality of grooves receiving the end sections of optical fibers, wherein the grooves define the location and orientation of the end sections with respect to the ferrule portion. The assembly includes an integrated optical element for coupling the input/output of an optical fiber to the opto-electronic devices in the opto-electronic module. The optical element can be in the form of a structured reflective surface. The end of the optical fiber is at a defined distance to and aligned with the structured reflective surface. The structured reflective surfaces and the fiber alignment grooves can be formed by stamping.

Abstract: A multi-fiber, fiber optic connector is interchangeable between a male connector and a female connector by including a pin retainer having a releasable retention device configured to lock the pins in place within the retainer. The retention device may be opened, for example, with a release tool, to free the retention pins for removal of the pins. A method for switching a connector between a male connector configuration and a female connector configuration may be possible as a result of the releasable retention configuration.

Abstract: A method of polishing an optical fiber connector comprises providing a unitary connector housing defining an interior containing a first ferrule and a second ferrule, each ferrule having an angle-polished end face and being located in an original rotational position, the unitary connector housing comprising a perimeter wall extending 360° about the interior, first and second ferrule springs biasing the first and second ferrules forward in the interior of the unitary housing, the unitary connector housing having a contiguous two-ferrule opening through a front end of the unitary connector housing, each of the first and second ferrules extending through the contiguous two-ferrule opening such that the first and second ferrules protrude forwardly from the front end of the unitary connector housing; and using a tool to rotate the first ferrule in the housing about a longitudinal axis while the second ferrule remains in the original rotational position.

Abstract: An optical connector assembly a first structure and a second structure, the two structures secured together using a retention structure to form a hybrid assembly. The retention structure uses a slot apex located in a slot channel for securing at least one latch pin of a coupling nut to an adapter housing forming the ingress protected connector without the use of a bias spring. The hybrid assembly is designed to resist water or debris ingress, and may eliminate the use of a bias force to further resist separating the hybrid assembly.

Abstract: Systems and methods of using a multiport assembly and associated components are disclosed. The multiport assembly can include a multiport device that communicatively couples multiple sets or pairs of connectors, such as optical connectors or electrical connectors, together. The multiport assembly can also include an auxiliary port device that couples to the multiport device to expand the capacity of the multiport assembly. Both the multiport and auxiliary port devices can be selectively configured to receive specific types of connectors by selectively coupling to different types of adapters, where the types of adapters correspond to the types of connectors. When coupled to the multiport or auxiliary port devices, the adapters facilitate the formation of the communication between its corresponding set of connectors.

Abstract: A reversible polarity fiber optic connector includes an outer housing including a polarity key for coupling the outer housing to a fiber optic receptacle in only one orientation. A ferrule assembly is received in the outer housing in a first position corresponding to a first polarity of the fiber optic connector and in a second position corresponding to a second polarity of the fiber optic connector. The ferrule assembly forms an optical connection with the fiber optic receptacle. A boot assembly is releasably connected to the outer housing to enable the ferrule assembly to be inserted into and removed from the outer housing. The boot assembly includes a rotor rotatable between locked and release positions. The rotor includes a blocking portion to block disconnection of the boot assembly with the outer housing in the locked position and to permit disconnection of the boot assembly with the outer housing in the release position.
