Abstract: An OSFP optical transceiver having split multiple fiber optical port using reduced amount of MPO terminations is provided that includes two adjacent sockets integrated into the optical port of the OSFP optical transceiver. The two adjacent sockets are vertically oriented with respect to the mounting baseplate of the OSFP optical transceiver, and each of the two adjacent sockets is adapted to receive an MPO receptacle that terminates the proximal end of a bundle of fibers. The OSFP optical transceiver also includes an optical connection between each socket and a corresponding lens in the OSFP optical transceiver, for transmitting optical signals received from other transceivers into the OSFP optical transceiver and optical signals generated in the OSFP optical transceiver to other transceivers.

Abstract: A communication device includes a mechanical frame, which is configured to be inserted into a multi-channel Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) receptacle that is compliant with a first SFP standard and to receive inside the frame an SFP connector that is compliant with a second SFP standard, which is different from the first SFP standard. First electrical terminals, held by the mechanical frame, are configured to mate with respective first pins of the SFP receptacle, and second electrical terminals, electrically coupled within the mechanical frame to the first electrical terminals, are configured to mate with respective second pins of the SFP connector. A heat sink is mounted in the mechanical frame and configured to make a positive contact with the SFP connector when the SFP connector is inserted into the mechanical frame.

Abstract: Apparatuses and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide an adaptive connector configured to connect between a cable connector and a switch module in a datacenter. The adaptive connector includes a body defining a top, bottom, and two side portions extending between the top and bottom portion. The body of the adaptive connector defines a first end for receiving the cable connector and a second end that is received by a switch module for enabling signals to pass between the cable connector and switch module. The adaptive connector further defines a heat dissipation elements for transferring heat between the adaptive connector and an external environment of the adaptive connector.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are described that provide improved networking communication systems and associated adapters. An example networking communication adapter includes an adapter housing defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end is configured to engage an Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable (OSFP) connector, and the second end is configured to receive a Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable Double Density (QSFP-DD) transceiver therein. The networking communication adapter further includes an inner connector positioned within the adapter housing. In an operational configuration in which the first end engages the OSFP connector and the second end receives the QSFP-DD transceiver, the inner connector operably connects the QSFP-DD transceiver with the OSFP connector such that signals may pass therebetween.

Abstract: A method for producing a fiberoptic fan-out includes creating a splice joint between a first fiberoptic cable and two or more second fiberoptic cables, such that at the splice joint, each of a plurality of first optical fibers in the first fiberoptic cable is spliced to a respective second optical fiber in one of the second fiberoptic cables. A tube slides over the cables to a position at which the splice joint is contained inside the tube. While the splice joint is contained inside the tube, the tube is filled with a fixative so as to fix the splice joint in the position.
