    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.

    Abstract: A fiber optic connector for making an optical connection with a second fiber optic connector includes a connector housing that mates with the second fiber optic connector free of fixed attachment thereto. A quick release coupler forms a quick release connection with the second fiber optic connector when the second fiber optic connector mates with the connector housing. The quick release coupler includes a mounting base coupled to the connector housing and opposing first and second retainers attached to the mounting base. The first and second retainers engage the second fiber optic connector when the second fiber optic connector mates with the connector housing to form the quick release connection with the second fiber optic connector.

    Abstract: A small form factor optical connector holding two or more LC-type optical ferrules is provided. The optical connector includes an outer body, an inner front body accommodating the two or more LC-type optical ferrules, a pair a resilient latches and corresponding recess for the resilient latch, ferrule springs for urging the optical ferrules towards a mating receptacle, and a back body for supporting the ferrule springs. The outer body and the inner front body are configured such that four LC-type optical ferrules are accommodated in a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver footprint or eight LC-type optical ferrules are accommodated in a quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) transceiver footprint. A mating receptacle (transceiver or adapter) includes a receptacle hook and a housing with an opening that accommodates the receptacle hook in a flexed position as the optical connector makes connection with the mating receptacle by introducing the receptacle hook into an optical receptacle hook recess.
