    Abstract: A LC type connector assembly with a clip on, clip off push/pull boot is described herein. A cable boot is recessed to accommodate one or more tabs of the clip-on push/pull boot, while the cable boot has one or more protrusions for securing the cable boot to a back body of the connector. Thus, 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 LC connector type from a receptacle port with or without an anchor device within the port.

    Abstract: A multi-fiber, fiber optic connector is interchangeable between a male connector and a female connector by including a pin retainer having a releasable retention device configured to lock the pins in place within the retainer. The retention device may be opened, for example, with a release tool, to free the retention pins for removal of the pins. A method for switching a connector between a male connector configuration and a female connector configuration may be possible as a result of the releasable retention configuration.

    Abstract: A micro connector kit including a ferrule assembly, an optical sub-assembly (“OSA”) and a micro connector. The ferrule assembly is coupled to an optical fiber and includes a ferrule. The OSA can receive an electric signal and transmit an optical signal or receive an optical signal and transmit an electric signal. The OSA includes a receptacle sized and shaped to receive the ferrule of the ferrule assembly to form an optical connection between the ferrule assembly and the OSA. The micro connector secures the optical connection between the ferrule assembly and the OSA. The micro connector includes a micro connector housing that forms a direct, mating connection with the OSA to secure the optical connection between the ferrule assembly and the OSA. The connection is made using only a very small space, allowing more ferrule assembly and OSA connections to be made in a smaller area.

    Abstract: An angle polished fiber optic connector adapted for connection with another angle polished connector in two, reversed configurations has a connector body and first and second angle polished ferrules. The first ferrule is supported by the connector body in a first fixed rotational position about the longitudinal axis of the first ferrule, and the second ferrule is supported by the connector body in a second fixed rotational position about the longitudinal axis of the second ferrule. The second fixed rotational position of the second ferrule being offset by 180 degrees from the first fixed rotational position of the first ferrule. A method of making an angled polished fiber optic connector that can be connected with different polarities is also disclosed.

    Abstract: Optical fiber connectors and adapters are disclosed. A connector assembly includes a sleeve seal positioned near a proximal end of the connector, the seal fits over an alignment sleeve contained within an adapter. The connector may include a heat shrinkable tubing covering a distal end of the connector to prevent ingress of moisture and debris. The sleeve seal is compressed by a proximal face of a connector plug frame. The sleeve seal contains a plural of sealing or mating surfaces to prevent the ingress of moisture through the adapter opening into the plug frame housing a ferrule. The adapter further comprises a washer-seal that is placed between an adapter flange face and a module face plate that secures the adapter with connectors therein to a rack of adapters.

    Abstract: An optical connector holding one or more optical ferrule assembly is provided. The optical connector includes an outer body, an inner front body accommodating the one or more optical ferrule assembly, 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 optical ferrule assembly are accommodated in a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver footprint or eight optical ferrule assembly are accommodated in a quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) transceiver footprint. A receptacle can hold one or more connector inner bodies forming a single boot for all the optical fibers of the inner bodies.
