    Abstract: The present invention provides a circuit board-mounted optical interconnection system comprising a mounting bracket for holding a board-based first optical connector ferrule; a ferrule alignment housing for mating the first optical connector ferrule with a second optical connector ferrule to form a mated ferrule sub-assembly; wherein the mounting bracket comprises a pair of curved portions; the mated ferrule sub-assembly comprises one or more pivoting features for engaging with the curved portions such that the mated ferrule sub-assembly is rotatable with respect to the mounting bracket. The present invention makes mating and un-mating of the connector ferrules easier, particularly in confined working spaces as with racks in telecommunication cabinets.

    Abstract: A multi-fiber optical fiber connector including a connector housing having a front portion and a rear portion is disclosed. A multi-fiber ferrule is disposed in the connector housing such that it projects from the front portion of the connector housing. The rear portion of the connector housing includes at least a first channel configured to receive a plurality of optical fibers of an optical cable and to couple the optical fibers to the ferrule, and a second channel configured to receive a strength member of the optical cable. The multi-fiber optical fiber connector may be an ingress protected optical fiber connector, and may have an outside diameter less than about 15.8 mm, such as about 14 mm.

    Abstract: A multi-fiber, fiber optic connector may include a reversible keying arrangement for determining the orientation for plugging the connector into an adapter to thereby allow for a change in polarity of the connection to be made on site. The connector housing may be configured to engage with a removable key that may be engaged with the housing in at least two different locations to provide the plug-in orientation, or the housing may have slidably displaceable keys movable between multiple positions on the housing.

    Abstract: Optical fiber connectors for MT/MPO type ferrule assemblies are disclosed, having an overall connector length less than about 32 mm, for example, an overall length of about 18.5 mm for non-reinforced optical fiber cables, and an overall length of about 23.5 mm for reinforced optical fiber cables. In one embodiment, a connector comprises a ferrule assembly, and a non-slideable housing coupled to the ferrule assembly and configured to couple to an adapter corresponding to the ferrule assembly. The connector further includes a lock coupled to the housing and configured to rotate the housing so as to lock and unlock the housing from said adapter. The rotatable lock contains a recess to accept a key to unlock and lock the connector from an adapter.
