    Abstract: A fiber array device configured to secure and align one or more optical fiber bundles as part of a main body using a fixing material. The fixing material is light cured or room temperature cured. Main body forms an angle from a first direction along a second direction, and a recess the optical bundles are laid within and in which the fixing material is applied. Each individual optical fiber is laid within a groove formed in a lid, the base portion or both the lid and the base portion. The fiber array device is secured to a printed circuit board to form a communication path between the optical fiber and electronics of the board.

    Abstract: Reduced-profile connection components are described. The reduced-profile connection components are configured to connect various data transmission elements, including cables, network devices, and computing devices. A non-limiting example of a connection component includes a fiber optic connection component, including connectors, adapters, and assemblies formed therefrom. In some embodiments, the connection components may include mechanical transfer (MT) and multi-fiber push-on/pull-off (MPO) connection components, such as MT ferrules and MPO adapters. The reduced-profile connection components configured according to some embodiments have a smaller profile and/or require less parts to achieve a connection compared to conventional connection components. In some embodiments, the reduced-profile connection components may be used with conventional connection components. For example a reduced-profile connector may use a conventional MT ferrule to establish a connection within a conventional MPG adapter.

    Abstract: A fiber optic adapter for mating a multi-fiber optic ferrule connector and a multi-fiber optic connector. An engagement device may be integrated or molded as part of adapter receptacle at either end. The engagement device secures the multi-fiber connector. The adapter may be two-piece with a first portion detachable from a second portion, the first portion housing one or more integrated engagement devices and the second portion housing one or more replaceable engagement devices, or a receptacle configured to secure a latch configured on an outer housing of a connector. Receptacle may further contain a plural of engagement devices formed as a unitary engagement device. The receptacle has a gap configured to accept the integrated engagement device. A ferrule flange assembly configured to front load into a connector housing. A connector housing with a top and a bottom stabilizer for the fiber optic connector with an adapter port.

    Abstract: Connector assemblies are described herein. For example, a connector assembly including: a housing configured to accept a first ferrule and a second ferrule. The connector assembly may also have a push/pull clip that is configure to depress a protrusion that rotates down a connector device to remove the connector assembly from an adapter. The push/pull clip is integrated with a cable boot assembly that allows a user to apply a distal force to remove or insert the connector assembly into the adapter housing. The push/pull clip is configured for use to release a MPO and LC connector type from an adapter.

    Abstract: A lockable dust cap is inserted over a proximal end of an adapter assembly. The lockable dust cap has locking arms that secured the dust cap hub to the proximal end of the adapter assembly, and a grip portion that when rotated from an unlocked “0” or locked “1” position the dust cap is secured at the proximal end of the adapter. The dust cap is ingress protected with a seal and polymer shroud that covers the proximal end of the adapter. This helps to prevent moisture or debris ingress into the adapter assembly.

    Abstract: Fiber optic connection assemblies that may include hybrid adapters and connector assemblies are generally described. The hybrid adapter may be configured to connect a first connector type and a second connector type, the first connector type being different from the second connector type. For example, the first connector type may be a micro connector and the second connector type may be an LC connector. A connector assembly may be configured as a micro connector having a tension element configured to facilitate optimized optical performance by spring loading the ferrules while maintaining a small form factor.
