Abstract: An optical connector has a connector housing assembly for holding one or more ferrules, the connector housing assembly having a height align a vertical alignment axis and a width perpendicular to the height. The connector housing assembly includes an inner front body and an outer release component, the outer release component being movable in relation to the inner front body between a front position and a back position. The optical fiber connector is configured to mate with a receptacle having an upper receptacle hook such that the upper receptacle hook is received in the upper receptacle hook recess and latches with the upper hook retainer surface when the outer release component is in the front position and such that the upper ramp lifts the upper receptacle hook out of the upper receptacle hook recess when the outer release component moves to the back position.

Abstract: A fiber optic adapter for mating with a fiber optic connector includes an adapter housing. The adapter housing includes a wall and an opening that accepts the fiber optic connector. An optical alignment axis extends through the adapter housing and passes through the opening of the adapter housing. A guide is disposed on the wall of the outer housing. The guide comprises a cam surface located inward of the opening, facing toward the opening, and extending along an axis that is transverse to the optical alignment axis. The cam surface is arranged for engaging the fiber optic connector inserted into the opening along an insertion axis that is divergent from the optical alignment axis to drive the fiber optic connector substantially into alignment with the optical alignment axis as the fiber optic connector traverses the cam surface upon being pushed farther into the adapter housing.

Abstract: A micro connector kit includes first and second ferrules and first and second micro connector ferrule housings. Each first and second micro connector ferrule housing defines a cavity sized and shaped to receive a respective one of the first and second ferrules with the first and second ferrules being disposed in closely spaced relation with the respective first or second micro connector ferrule housing when in each cavity. The first and second micro connector ferrule housings can be releasably coupled together such that the first and second ferrules form an optical connection when the first and second micro connector ferrule housings are coupled together. The first and second micro connector ferrule housings have first and second connection structure for releasably coupling the first and second micro connector housings together.

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.
