    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a positioning arrangement for positioning optical fibers. The positioning arrangement can include a positioning substrate with a plurality of fiber receiving locations arranged in a row. Each of the fiber receiving locations can be configured to receive one of the optical fibers. Each of the fiber receiving locations can include a first fiber contact surface and a second fiber contact surface that are each adapted to contact a corresponding one of the optical fibers when the optical fiber is received in the fiber receiving location. The first and second fiber contact surfaces of each of the fiber receiving locations can be relatively oriented to define a fiber receiving angle that is greater than 90 degrees. The positioning arrangement can also include a pressing structure with pressing surfaces for opposing the row of fiber receiving locations to press the optical fibers within the fiber receiving locations.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic adapter having a footprint/form factor compatible with an SC adapter mounting structure or an LC adapter mounting structure or both the SC and LC adapter mounting structures. The adapter body may include first and second co-axially aligned connector ports for respectively receiving first and second fiber optic connectors. The fiber optic adapter may also include a fiber alignment structure configured to accommodate at least 12 optical fibers (e.g., 12 non-ferrulized optical fibers) for each of the first and second connector ports. Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a fiber optic adapter with linearly moveable, spring biased shutters. A further aspect of the present disclosure relates to a ferrule-less fiber optic connector that may include a telescopic shroud and a safety lock for locking the shroud in a fiber protecting position. A further aspect of the present disclosure relates to a ferrule-less fiber optic connector with a spring-biased fiber holder.

    Abstract: A fiber optic adapter includes an adapter body defining a port leading to an alignment structure. The optical adapter also defines a platform disposed at the first port. The platform is recessed inwardly from an outer periphery of the adapter body. The platform includes latching members having catch surfaces. A fiber optic connector includes a connector plug body holding an optical fiber. The connector also includes a latching arm having a latching end that defines two rearwardly facing catch surfaces separated by a central webbing, which extends along a length of the latching arm. The rearwardly facing catch surfaces align with the catch surfaces of the latching members when the fiber optic connector is received at the fiber optic adapter.
