Abstract: The clip for securing two fiber optic connectors may include a first engagement member having a top surface and a length; a second engagement member spaced apart from the first engagement member; and a linkage member extending between the first and second engagement members and connecting the first engagement member and the second engagement member. A space is defined between the first and second engagement members to house the connectors. The linkage member is configured to separate the two fiber optic connectors when they are sandwiched between the first and second engagement members.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a Network system including: a connector comprising a housing comprising a groove running widthwise on a surface of the housing; and a push-pull tab comprising a complementary groove, wherein the push-pull tab is detachably connected to the housing; and a receiver device comprising one or more ports for receiving the connector, the one or more ports having an interchangeable anchor device including a first portion and a second portion; wherein the groove is configured to receive the first portion of the interchangeable anchor device when the connector is inserted into the receiving element, and wherein the complimentary groove is configured to receive the second portion of the interchangeable anchor device when the connector is inserted into the receiving element, the push-pull tab being configured to disengage the second portion of the interchangeable anchor device from the complementary groove when the push-pull tab is moved in a direction away from the connector, thereby disengaging the first portion of the interchangeable anchor device from the grove of the connector. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: An optical fiber connector with a housing configured to hold a plurality of optical fiber ferrules is selectively reconfigurable between a first configuration and a second configuration different from the first configuration. The housing can have different widths in the first and second configurations. The ferrules can have different ferrule arrangements in the first and second configurations. The optical fiber connector can be mateable with different types of receptacles in the first and second configurations. Reconfiguration can be achieved by disconnecting a rear housing from a plurality of front housings at first set of attachment points, rotating the rear housing 180° in relation to the front housings, and attaching the rear housing to the front housings at the second set of attachment points.

Abstract: A fiber optic adapter for mating with a fiber optic connector includes an adapter housing. The adapter housing includes a wall and an opening that accepts the fiber optic connector. An optical alignment axis extends through the adapter housing and passes through the opening of the adapter housing. A guide is disposed on the wall of the outer housing. The guide comprises a cam surface located inward of the opening, facing toward the opening, and extending along an axis that is transverse to the optical alignment axis. The cam surface is arranged for engaging the fiber optic connector inserted into the opening along an insertion axis that is divergent from the optical alignment axis to drive the fiber optic connector substantially into alignment with the optical alignment axis as the fiber optic connector traverses the cam surface upon being pushed farther into the adapter housing.

Abstract: A multifiber ferrule has a generally forward-facing angled ferrule contact surface that is skewed with respect to the widthwise axis of the ferrule such that the angled ferrule contact surface defines a widthwise skew angle with respect to the widthwise axis. A multifiber optical connector has a connector housing assembly that holds at least one of this type of ferrule. The connector housing assembly can hold two such ferrules so that the ferrule contact surfaces are angled in opposite widthwise directions and so that a broad side of the first ferrule opposes a broad side of the second ferrule in parallel, spaced apart relationship therewith. A polarity-changeable multifiber optical connector is also provided that includes a multifiber ferrule with a generally forward-facing ferrule contact surface at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A micro connector kit includes first and second ferrules and first and second micro connector ferrule housings. Each first and second micro connector ferrule housing defines a cavity sized and shaped to receive a respective one of the first and second ferrules with the first and second ferrules being disposed in closely spaced relation with the respective first or second micro connector ferrule housing when in each cavity. The first and second micro connector ferrule housings can be releasably coupled together such that the first and second ferrules form an optical connection when the first and second micro connector ferrule housings are coupled together. The first and second micro connector ferrule housings have first and second connection structure for releasably coupling the first and second micro connector housings together.

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.
