摘要： A re-terminable, no-crimp ST-type optical connector assembly includes a spring-loaded ferrule holder assembly and a reusable activation system for termination of the assembly. The optical connector can be terminated by a suitable cam activation tool. The connector includes a housing, such as a bayonet, matable to a mating adapter, a backbone retained within a rear of the housing, a ferrule holder provided within the backbone, and a cam provided between the ferrule holder and the backbone. The ferrule holder includes an alignment key exposed to mate with a cam activation tool to lock rotation of the ferrule holder relative to other connector components. The cam includes a cam activation cutout at a front face thereof that mates with a cam activation tool interface to enable rotation of the cam between de-activated and activated positions, the cam activation cutout also receiving the alignment key of the ferrule holder therethrough.

The cam further includes a first camming profile that actuates a field fiber clamp and a second camming profile that actuates a buffer clamp. The connector may further include alignment flats and features for preventing rotation and axial movement of various components. Because the cam is unexposed when mated, inadvertent de-activation is prevented.

摘要： The present invention is directed toward a divider clip that holds a divider wall in a multi-channel raceway. The divider clip includes a base and sidewalls extending from ends of the base. The divider clip also includes removable clip fingers that extend from the base. One of the removable clip fingers is located at the center of the base while a second removable clip finger is located closer to one of the sidewalls. One of the clip fingers is removed from the divider clip to enable the remaining clip finger to hold to divider wall to separate the raceway into either a 50/50 channel split, a 60/40 channel split or a 40/60 channel split.

摘要： The present invention is directed towards a multi-channel raceway system with a raceway and a fitting component. The raceway includes a base with a bottom and sidewalls that define a channel and a divider wall positioned within the channel. The fitting component includes a base with a bottom and sidewalls that define a channel and a plurality of sets of raised projections. The fitting component also includes a fitting divider wall positioned within the channel of the fitting component. The fitting divider wall includes at least one positioning tab along the bottom of the fitting divider wall for engaging the raised projections extending from the fitting base to secure the fitting divider wall to the fitting base.
