Abstract: An example method of filling epoxy in a fiber optic connector includes: applying the epoxy to a ferrule of a first connector at a first pressure for a first period of time; applying the epoxy to the first connector at a second pressure for a second period of time until the epoxy is sensed to exit a hole defined by the ferrule of the first connector; comparing the second period of time to a threshold; when the second period of time is greater than the threshold, increasing the first pressure, the first period of time, or the second pressure; and when the second period of time is less than the threshold, decreasing the first pressure, the first period of time, or the second pressure.

Abstract: The present disclosure incudes a fiber optic cable having a conduit including a conduit wall defining a conduit passage that extends longitudinally through the conduit. The conduit also includes an adhesive injection port defined through the conduit wall and at least one optical fiber within the conduit passage. The cable further includes a fiber lock including an adhesive volume in communication with the adhesive injection port. The adhesive volume includes a main adhesive volume positioned within the conduit passage and bonded to the optical fiber. The main adhesive volume is fixed to prevent longitudinal movement relative to the conduit.

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 generally to methods for processing ferrules of fiber optic connectors such that the amount of polishing that is required is eliminated or at least reduced. In one example, a forward volume of adhesive is removed with a first laser beam having a first laser property and a front portion of the optical fiber is cleaved with a second laser beam having a second laser property that is different than the first laser property.
