    Abstract: A fiber optic cable assembly includes a fiber optic cable and a fiber optic connector. The cable includes a jacket having an elongated transverse cross-sectional profile that defines a major axis and a minor axis. Strength components of the cable are anchored to the connector. The fiber optic connector includes a multi-fiber ferrule defining a major axis that is generally perpendicular to the major axis of the jacket and a minor axis that is generally perpendicular to the minor axis of the jacket. Certain types of connectors include a connector body defining a side opening that extends along a length of the connector body; a multi-fiber ferrule configured for lateral insertion into the connector body through the side opening; and a cover that mounts over the side opening after the multi-fiber ferrule has been inserted into the connector body through the side opening.

    Abstract: Certain splice arrangements include first and second laminate structures bonded around a splice location at which two or more optical fibers are spliced (e.g., fusion spliced) together. The first and second laminate structures each include a flexible polymeric sheet and a heat activated adhesive layer carried by the flexible polymeric sheet. Other splice arrangements include a protective barrier disposed about an optical splice. The protective barrier includes first and second protective layers bonded around the optical splice. Each protective layer include a film carrying an adhesive. The protective barrier may be sufficiently flexible to not restrict flexing the optical fibers at the splice location. Example splice arrangements have thicknesses of less than or equal to 1000 microns, or 900 microns, or 800 microns, or 700 microns, or 600 microns or 500 microns.

    Abstract: A fiber optic and electrical connection system includes a fiber optic cable, a ruggedized fiber optic connector, a ruggedized fiber optic adapter, and a fiber optic enclosure. The cable includes one or more electrically conducting strength members. The connector, the adapter, and the enclosure each have one or more electrical conductors. The cable is terminated by the connector with the conductors of the connector in electrical communication with the strength members. The conductors of the connector electrically contact the conductors of the adapter when the connector and the adapter are mechanically connected. And, the conductors of the adapter electrically contact the conductors of the enclosure when the adapter is mounted on the enclosure.

    Abstract: A retention and protection device holds one or more envelope attachments to a connector core. The envelope attachment may be removed from the device and installed upon the connector core to convert the connector core into a different type of connector to mate with or within a different style of connector or port. The device is a combination of features including a clasp for attachment to the connector core, such as by residing within a recessed valley of a strain relief boot of the connector core. One or more lanyards may be provided. Each lanyard has a first end attached to the clasp and a second end with a fitting. The fitting is structurally dimensioned to removably hold an envelope attachment and prevent dust from entering one end of the envelope attachment. Once removed from the fitting, the envelope attachment is structurally compatible to attach to the connector core.

    Abstract: A multi-fiber fiber optic connector is provided having features that allow for changeability with respect to gender. A pin holder is configured to releasably retain a pair of alignment pins and includes top and bottom plates having both ramps and front tabs. Opposing distal ends of the front top and bottom tabs are movable relative to each other between a pin retaining position and a pin release position. When the front top and bottom tabs are in the pin retaining position, the distal ends are engaged at least partially within a circumferential groove of a corresponding alignment pin, and when the front top and bottom tabs are in the pin release position, at least a portion of corresponding top and bottom ramps are spread apart from one another flexing the top and the bottom plates away from each other and disengaging the distal ends from the alignment pin.
