Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relates to an improved process for easily securing an optical fiber within a ferrule of a fiber optic connector which negates the use of epoxies or adhesives. The present disclosure further relates to a method for anchoring an optical fiber in a connector of the kind described, where a solvent agent is used rather than epoxies or adhesives.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic connector including a connector housing having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end can form a plug portion adapted for insertion within a receptacle of a fiber optic adapter. A rear insert mounts within the proximal end of the connector housing. An axial insertion/retention interface can be defined between the connector housing and the rear insert. The axial insertion/retention interface can be configured to allow the rear insert to be inserted into and removed from the proximal end of the connector housing along an insertion axis when the rear insert is positioned in a first rotational position about the insertion axis relative to the connector housing. The axial insertion/retention interface can also be configured to prevent the rear insert from being withdrawn from the proximal end of the connector housing along the insertion axis.

Abstract: A fabrication carrier for fiber optic connectors defines a body configured to removably hold a plurality of fiber optic ferrules. The body allows each of the fiber optic ferrules to be movable along its axis under a bias when the ferrules are mounted to the body. The body can be coupled to a polishing plate for use with a ferrule polishing apparatus in a polishing step. Coupling of the body to the polishing plate allows each of the ferrules to at least partially protrude past a bottom face of the polishing plate for contact with the polishing apparatus. The body of the fabrication carrier is configured as a fixture that can be used in at least one additional fabrication step aside from the polishing step when not mounted to the polishing plate.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic connector designed to improve the insertion of an optical fiber within the fiber optic connector. The fiber optic connector may include a lead-in tube that makes the insertion of an optical fiber easier. That is, the lead-in tube may be molded over a ferrule hub to fully encapsulate a rear end thereof such that the optical fiber does not snag or hang up during insertion.

Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relates to a conductive assembly that provides faster cure times of adhesives used to assemble fiber optic connectors than normal convection ovens. The present disclosure also relates to a design of a fiber optic connector that allows for a rapid polishing process. The present disclosure further relates to a method for anchoring an optical fiber in a connector of the kind described, where the cure time is faster than convection ovens.
