Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications connector. The connector includes at least one connector portion including a front housing portion coupled to a rear housing portion. The front housing portion defines a front end and a rear end, the front housing portion including a ferrule terminating a cable fixed to the at least one connector portion, the front housing portion further including a latch that is configured to contact a fiber optic adapter for locking the connector to the fiber optic adapter when the connector is inserted into the fiber optic adapter, wherein the latch is movable about a connection location on the front housing portion. The latch defines a permanently attached rear extension that extends rearward past the rear end of the front housing portion, the rear extension configured to be contacted for moving the latch for freeing the connector from the fiber optic adapter.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a bare fiber connection system that includes first and second multi-fiber fiber optic connectors that have a retractable shroud with a pivotal locking member mounted thereon. The pivotal locking member can be configured to lock the retractable shroud in an extended position. The pivotal locking member can be pivoted about a pivot point while remaining attached to the retractable shroud to unlock the retractable shroud such that the retractable shroud can move to a retracted position.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a fiber holder for holding optical fibers. The fiber holder can include a main holder body having a length that extends between first and second ends of the main holder body, a width that extends between first and second side walls of the main holder body, and a height that extends between top and bottom sides of the main holder body. The main holder body can define a plurality of fiber positioning grooves that extend along the length of the main holder body and spaced across the width of the main holder body. The main holder body also includes a fiber engagement structure having a fiber engagement surface. The fiber engagement structure can be aligned with an open region that interrupts the plurality of fiber positioning grooves. The fiber engagement structure can extend through the height of the main holder body from the top side to the fiber engagement surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a bare fiber connection system that includes first and second multi-fiber fiber optic connectors that have a low profile and are mounted in a multi-fiber adapter. The multi-fiber fiber optic connectors are bare fiber connectors that each include a connector body and a plurality of optical fibers extending through the connector body. The bare fiber connection system includes a latching arrangement for securing the first and second multi-fiber fiber optic connectors respectively in first and second adapter ports. One aspect of the present disclosure relates to the first and second multi-fiber fiber optic connectors and the multi-fiber adapter lacking integrated structures for releasing the first and second multi-fiber fiber optic connectors from the first and second adapter ports. Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a release key that is separate from the first and second multi-fiber fiber optic connectors and the multi-fiber adapter for releasing the first and second multi-fiber fiber optic connectors from the first and second adapter ports of the multi-fiber adapter.

Abstract: Optical fibers of a multi-fiber cable are grouped into connection units. The distal ends of the fibers of each connection unit are terminated at a connection unit body that attaches to a tapering cable core formed of longer ones of the connection units. After deployment of the cable, two or more connection units can be stacked together to form a connector or inserted into a connector shell. Prior to deployment of the cable, at least some of the connection units are spaced from each other along the cable. For example, individual connection units may be disposed at one end of the tapering cable core and stacks of connection units may be disposed at the other end of the tapering cable core.
