Abstract: A fiber optic connector includes a body portion and a coupling portion configured to be coupled with the body portion. The body portion is configured to receive a fiber optic cable, and the coupling portion is configured to radially compress a portion of the body portion onto an outer jacket of a fiber optic cable to clamp the outer jacket and to prevent relative axial movement between the fiber optic cable and the connector when the coupling portion is coupled with the body portion so as to mechanically couple the body portion with the fiber optic cable without having to use a crimping tool.

Abstract: A connector storage includes a storage block including a plurality of chambers. Each of the plurality of chambers includes an open first end at a front wall and a substantially closed second end at a rear wall. The storage block is configured to include first voids and/or second voids between adjacent ones of the plurality of chambers. Each of the plurality of chambers includes a substantially circular perimeter wall that includes first and second wall portions between the respective chamber and respective ones of the first and second voids. The perimeter wall is configured to have a first diameter that is smaller than a second diameter of a circle that circumscribes corners of the fiber optic connector. The first and second wall portions are configured to deform into respective ones of the first and second voids to receive and securely grip the corners of the fiber optic connector while minimizing a contact area between the perimeter wall and the connector so as to reduce a force required to insert the connector into the storage block and remove the connector from the storage block.

Abstract: A telecommunications box includes a first housing portion, a second housing portion pivotally coupled with the first housing portion, an adapter panel removably coupled with the first housing portion, and an inner cover pivotally coupled with the first housing portion and removably coupled with the adapter panel. The adapter panel is configured to be uncoupled from the first housing so as to be pivotal with the inner cover relative to the first housing portion to a raised configuration that provides a technician with improved access to the adapter panel, and the adapter panel is configured to be uncoupled from the inner cover while remaining coupled with the first housing portion in a stowed configuration.

Abstract: A fiber optic connector includes a ferrule holder configured to receive a ferrule that terminates an optical fiber cable, a connector sub-assembly configured to receive an optical fiber cable and to hold the ferrule holder, a connector body configured to hold the connector sub-assembly, a shroud configured to encircle the connector body, and a housing configured to encircle a portion of the shroud. The connector body is configured to include a first mating member and a second mating member. The first mating member is configured to include a cantilevered flange, and the second mating member is configured to include a groove on an inner surface of the second mating member. The cantilevered flange is configured to engage with the groove to securely fasten the first mating member with the second mating member.
