Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic connector for use with a fiber optic adapter. The fiber optic connector includes a connector housing having an end defining a plug portion. A ferrule assembly is mounted at least partially within the connector housing. The ferrule assembly includes a ferrule located at the plug portion of the connector housing. A sealing member is mounted about an exterior of the connector housing for providing a seal between the connector housing and the adapter. The fiber optic connector further includes first and second separate retaining mechanism for retaining the fiber optic connector within the fiber optic adapter.

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 method for processing a ferrule for a fiber optic connector is disclosed herein. The ferrule supports an optical fiber. The method involves laser processing a distal end of the ferrule to expand at least a portion of the ferrule to cause recession of an end of the optical fiber relative to the expanded portion of the ferrule.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for making or assembling fiber optic connectors that allows a pre-terminated fiber optic cable to be made compatible with any number of different styles or types of fiber optic connectors or fiber optic adapters. A connector core of the system can be used as a stand-alone connector with a small form-factor adapter.

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: Disclosed herein are devices and methods for cleaning, verifying cleaning, and coating a ferrule end face in a single housing thereby preventing contamination of the ferrule end face and associated optical fiber end face. Also disclosed herein is a fiber optic assembly including a ferrule; an optical fiber extending through the ferrule to an end face of the ferrule; and a coating on the end face of the ferrule protecting the optical fiber. The coating is prepared by curing a vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane with a crosslinker in the presence of a catalyst.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a fiber optic cable having a conduit including a conduit wall defining a conduit passage that extends longitudinally through the conduit. The conduit also includes an adhesive injection port defined through the conduit wall and at least one optical fiber within the conduit passage. The cable further includes a fiber lock including an adhesive volume in communication with the adhesive injection port. The adhesive volume includes a main adhesive volume positioned within the conduit passage and bonded to the optical fiber. The main adhesive volume is fixed to prevent longitudinal movement relative to the conduit.
