Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a ferrule-less fiber optic connector including a connector body having a front end. The ferrule-less fiber optic connector can include a plurality of optical fibers that extend through the connector body. The optical fibers can have having free end portions at the front end of the connector body that are not supported by a ferrule or by ferrules. In one example, the ferrule-less fiber optic connector can be a duplex fiber optic connector. Transceiver modules and components are also disclosed.

Abstract: A factory processed and assembled optical fiber arrangement is configured to pass through tight, tortuous spaces when routed to a demarcation point. A connector housing attaches to the optical fiber arrangement at the demarcation point (or after leaving the tight, tortuous spaces) to form a connectorized end of the optical fiber. A fiber tip is protected before leaving the factory until connection is desired.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a field installable connector system. The connector system includes a factory terminated subassembly including a ferrule terminating an optical fiber of an optical fiber cable. The factory terminated subassembly has a small transverse cross-section to facilitate routing through a duct. The connector system also includes a field installable subassembly including various connector components that can be installed after the factory terminated subassembly has been routed through a duct. The components can be sealed and hardened.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic adapter for interconnecting first and second optical fiber connectors in coaxial alignment along an optical axis. The fiber optic adapter includes a housing with a first end and an opposite, a second end. The housing includes first and second adapter halves that each include an axial cavity defined by a top side-wall, a bottom side-wall, a right side-wall, and a left side-wall. The fiber optic adapter includes a first ferrule alignment structure located within the axial cavity of the first adapter half of the housing and a second ferrule alignment structure located within the axial cavity of the second adapter half of the housing. The fiber optic adapter includes double cantilever wings respectively positioned on the right and left side-walls of each one of the first and second adapter halves of the housing. The double cantilever wings are slotted to provide dual arm clips configured to elastically deform for attachment into an aperture defined by a bulkhead structure.

Abstract: One or more cables are axially, laterally, and/or rotationally secured to an anchor member. A plug connector can be assembled to or around the anchor member. The anchor member also can be used to handle the cable prior to assembling the plug connector. A connectorization system for assembling plug connectors includes multiple types/sizes of cables; optionally types/sizes of plug bodies; and the anchor member sized and shaped to connect a selected one of any of the cables with any of the plug bodies of the connectorization system.

Abstract: Fiber optic connectors, including SC connectors having a unitary housing that supports a ferrule and also allows for disengagement and release of the connector from, e.g., an adapter. The unitary housing includes a pair of release arms pivotal relative to a main body of the unitary housing, where pivoting of the release arms enables engagement and disengagement of corresponding latch arms in an adapter, for example.
