摘要： According to certain aspects of the present invention, an optical cable assembly is disclosed having a plurality of optical fibers, each having a first end and a second end. The plurality of optical fibers includes a first group of optical fibers and a second group of optical fibers. A first connector head is attached to the first end of the first group of optical fibers. The first group of optical fibers terminates in an array at a surface disposed on the first connector head. The first connector head includes a first mating structure. A second connector head is attached to the first end of the second group of optical fibers. The second group of optical fibers terminates in an array at a surface disposed on the second connector head. The second connector head includes a second mating structure matable with the first mating structure, whereby the optical cable assembly is configured so as to be matable with another identical optical cable assembly so that polarity is maintained in each of the plurality of optical fibers across the optical cable assemblies. Other related assemblies and kits are disclosed.

摘要： A polarity checking apparatus for multi-fiber connectors includes a body, a diverging lens attached to the body and a screen attached to the body, wherein the apparatus is configured to determine test and/or determine polarity of the multi-fiber connector. The screen may be translucent or may be opaque in part and rotatable for checking whether a signal is being transmitted on an individual optical fiber position of the multi-fiber connector. The invention is also directed to a method for checking the polarity of an optical assembly.
