    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fiber optic connection systems (5) including a fiber optic adapter (10) having shutter assemblies (34, 17) for obstructing laser beams to protect a person's eyes. The shutter assemblies (34, 17) are spring biased and pivotally movable between closed and open positions. In certain examples, the shutter assemblies (34, 17) can include an integrated locking member (48) that snaps into the fiber optic connectors (12, 14) to hold/retain the connectors in first and second ports (20, 24).

    Abstract: A self-centering structure (300) for aligning optical fibers (308) desired to be optically coupled together is disclosed. The self-centering structure (300) including a body (310) having a first end (312) and a second end (314). The first end (312) defines a first opening (303) and the second end (314) defines a second opening (304). The self-centering structure (300) includes a plurality of groove structures (306) integrally formed in the body (310) of the self-centering structure for receiving the optical fibers (308) and a fiber alignment region (305) positioned at an intermediate location between the first and second ends (312, 314) to facilitate centering and alignment of the optical fibers (308). The self-centering structure (300) further includes a plurality of cantilever members (322) arranged and configured on opposing sides of the fiber alignment region (305). Each of the plurality of cantilever members (322) are aligned with a respective one of the plurality of groove structures (306). The plurality of cantilever members (322) include a first plurality of cantilever members (322a) adjacent the first end (312) of the self-centering structure (300) and a second plurality of cantilever members (322b) adjacent the second end (314) of the self-centering structure (300). The plurality of cantilever members (322) is flexible and configured for urging the optical fibers (308) into their respective groove structures (306).

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an optical splice package for splicing together first and second optical fibers or first and second sets of optical fibers. The optical fibers have elastic bending characteristics. The splice package includes a splice housing including a mechanical alignment feature for co-axially aligning ends of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers within the splice housing. The splice housing contains adhesive for securing the ends of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers within the splice housing. The optical package has a weight less than a spring force corresponding to the elastic bending characteristics of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a connection system includes an adapter block assembly (130, 160) and methods for making thereof. In one aspect, the adapter block assembly (130, 160) includes a plurality of adapters (20), each of which having a slot structure (50). The adapter block assembly 130 can be built by providing a support structure (100) having a plurality of extension members (102) that engage with the adapter slot structures (50). In one implementation, a flange clip (200, 220) is removably inserted into the slot structure (50), wherein the flange clip (200, 220) has a second width (W3, W4) that is greater than first width (W1).
