    摘要: A connector plug for an optical fiber polarization maintaining connector has a front housing portion from which extends a cantilevered latching arm having a cross-sectional shape of a truncated wedge, and a rear housing portion. A barrel assembly having a flange thereon and a ferrule extending therefrom is housed within said first and second portions and is incrementally rotatable with respect to the first portion of the housing and hence to the latching arm. In a first embodiment the flange is seated in the front portion and prevented from turning with respect thereto. In a second embodiment the rear housing portion is an extender cap having resilient clamping arms which grip the flange. The extender cap is incrementally rotatable with respect to the first portion of the housing and, hence, the ferrule is incrementally rotatable with respect to the latching arm.

    摘要: A high density panel mounting assembly has a first connector housing having first and second arrays of channels for receiving modified connectors, separated by a shelf. An adapter assembly for receiving the ferrules of the connectors has an interior wall having first and second arrays of bored projections forming sleeves for receiving the connector ferrules. The adapter assembly has a second connector housing substantially identical with the first connector housing mounted to or integral with the rear of the adapter housing for receiving individual connectors. Each of the connector housings has an array of apertures along the top and bottom surfaces for latching the connectors in place. Each of the connectors has a resilient latching arm having a distal end having a latching surface thereon which bears against the end of its corresponding aperture to latch the connector in place within the connector housing. The first and second connector housings each receives the connectors in an aperture, the width of which is substantially equal to the sum of the widths o the connectors so that the connectors, when in place, bear against each other to prevent lateral displacement thereof.

    摘要: A pull-proof optical fiber connector for use with robust optical fiber has a housing and a ferrule bearing barrel member therein having a first outside diameter over a front portion thereof and a second, lesser outside diameter rearward portion, and a bore extending therethrough forming an optical fiber passage. The barrel member and, hence, the ferrule are rearwardly movable under axially pulling stress, and a stop member prevents further rearward movement prior to any disengagement of the ferrule with an associated ferrule or other apparatus. In one embodiment of the invention, the stop member is a fiber retention member having a front face and a bore extending therethrough of lesser diameter than the outside diameter of the second portion, thereby halting rearward movement when the end of the second portion butts against the front face of the cable retention member. In another embodiment of the invention the stop member is the rear edge of a substantially rectangular opening in the housing, which functions to block a U-shaped retainer member which embraces the second portion of the barrel after allowable rearward movement under rearward axial stress.

    摘要: An apparatus for tuning PM optical fiber connections has a first assembly including a light source which is connected to a first coupling stage having a rotatable polarizer, and a second assembly having a second coupling stage and a rotatable polarization analyzer for directing light transmitted through a terminated PM jumper cable coupled between the first and second coupling stages to a power meter. The output of the power meter is applied to a processing unit which, in turn, controls a rotation arrangement for the polarizing and analyzer. Crosstalk of this jumper is determined by ascertaining the angular positions of the maximum and minima outputs of the rotating analyzer, and the terminating connectors of the jumper are turned to the maximum value by aligning with a connector key. The process similarly applies to the connections between two jumper cables, with the alignment of the slow wave vectors thereof having achieved by determining the difference in the angular positions of the maximum output, and determining therefrom the positions of the reference keys of both connectors.

    摘要: A biconic optical fiber connector (20) comprising two plugs (24--24) each having truncated conically shaped end portions (30--30) for terminating optical fibers to be connected and a sleeve (66) in which the plug eng portions are received is provided with an attenuator (70) which results in low reflected power. The attenuator comprises a plate-like element which is disposed between the plug end portions. Advantageously, the plugs are seated in the sleeve and the thickness and mounting of the attenuator cooperate to cause the plug ends to engage the attenuator when the plugs are seated in the sleeve cavities. Also, the attenuator is supported within the sleeve so that it is capable of slight movement in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis (91) of the sleeve to self-adjust, if necessary, as the plug end portions are inserted and become seated in the sleeve.

    摘要: An adapter for receiving a connector plug terminating an optical fiber has a body member having at least one opening therein having sidewalls for receiving the plug. The opening has a longitudinally extending channel for receiving the latching arm of the connector plug, the side walls of the channel being angled inwardly to create a channel cross-section in the shape of a truncated wedge. In one of the sidewalls of the plug, preferably an outer side wall, is a cantilevered spring member biased inwardly toward the interim of the adapter for maintaining pressure upon the side of a connector plug when inserted therein. The exterior of the adapter body member has a flange thereon for bearing against a panel member or the like, and a metallic member straddles the body member and ahs cantilever leaf springs forming locking members for bearing against the opposite side of the panel from the flange.

    摘要: An optical fiber adapter for coupling first and second dissimilar optical fiber connectors together without signal or coupling degradation has a body portion having a transverse wall. First and second latch gates form chambers for containing an alignment sleeve and one of the chambers has a spring member seated in a recess in the wall at one end of the chamber. The spring member exerts a spring force on the sleeve in opposition to the spring force of one of the connectors, so that the sum of the spring forces on the ferrules of the connectors is substantially zero, thereby insuring proper alignment and positioning of the ferrules.
