摘要:
A fiber optic connector assembly comprises a housing member having a passageway extending therethrough. A receptacle connector member is latchably mounted in the passageway and has therein fiber optic connectors terminated to ends of fiber optic transmission members and fiber optic cables. The fiber optic connectors are mounted in the receptacle connector member as spring-biased connectors with profiled resilient front ends of the connectors disposed in profiled bores of alignment ferrules that are floatingly mounted in the receptacle connector member. A plug connector member has mounted therein spring-biased fiber optic connectors terminated to ends of fiber optic transmission members. Latch members on the plug connector member latchably secure the plug connector member in the housing member with profiled resilient front ends of the fiber optic connectors being disposed in the profiled bores of the alignment ferrules thereby connecting the respective fiber optic transmission members together under spring forces.

A strain relieving holder (40) having a bottom member (42) with channels (48) therealong, and top members (44,46) securable to said bottom member (42) by lugs (68) thereof being received into and held within respective channels (48). Either channels (48) of the bottom member (42) or channels (114) of the top members (44,46) may receive jacketed cable (28) thereinto for strain relief holding thereof. Slots (66) of the bottom member (42) are dimensioned to receive ribbon cables (32) (or buffered fibers 26) therein, and the top members (44,46) secure the ribbon cables (32) in the slots. Holders (40) may be used at ends of fiber optic splice trays (10).

A fiber optic connector assembly of the type for positioning fiber optic connectors relative to light-emitting and light-sensing members comprises a receptacle mountable onto a printed circuit board and in which the light-emitting and light-sensing members are disposed. A housing in which fiber optic connectors terminated onto fiber optic transmission members are mounted in a spring-biased condition and is latchably connected to the receptacle. The fiber optic connectors are disposed on the housing a connector-carrying member is latchably secured in the housing placing the fiber optic connectors under spring tension thereby forming a fiber optic plug which is disposed in the receptacle and latched thereto with the fiber optic connectors positioned adjacent the light-emitting and light-sensing members.

A connector for axially aligning a pair of optical waveguides is disclosed comprising a receptacle, a pair of plug members for positionment in the receptacle bore, and a pair of retention sleeves for positionment within respective plug members. Each plug member is adapted to receive a respective waveguide cable therein, and provides a forward alignment nose portion having a profiled opening receiving a forward end of the waveguide. The opening is defined by opposed V-grooves, with the V-grooves being separated by a transverse slot which extends through the alignment nose portion. The nose portion further includes external protrusion means for engaging the receptacle, and causing the opposed V-grooves to wedge against the waveguide extending therebetween. Each retention sleeve is received within a respective plug member, for inhibiting rearward withdrawal of the optical cable from the plug member.

A connector plug for axially aligning an optical fiber in a receptacle bore is disclosed, comprising an elongate body having an axial passageway receiving the fiber therein, and a forward alignment nose portion having a profiled opening receiving a forward end of the fiber. The opening is defined by opposed V-grooves, with the V-grooves being separated by a transverse slot extending through the alignment nose portion. The nose portion further comprises external protrusion means for engaging the receptacle, and causing the opposed V-grooves to wedge against the fiber extending therebetween, for fiber centering.

A splice tray assembly (20) including a tray member (22) and a planar cover member (24). Side walls (34,36) of the tray include proximate each end (28,30) a tray tab (40) extending above top edges of the side walls and including an inwardly directed retainer section (44) spaced above the side wall top edges. The cover (24) includes cooperating retainer sections (56) to underlie the tray retainer sections (44) while side edge portions (58,60) of the cover rest atop the top edges of the tray side walls, for cover retention. The cover further includes deflectable portions or cover tabs (70,72) inwardly from a respective end to be positioned inwardly of the tray tabs (40), with either of the cover tabs being upwardly deflectable enabling it to pass over the tray retention section of the adjacent tray tab during cover assembly and removal.

Packaging 8 for an optical component 1 interconnected with a bare optical fiber 2,3, comprising; a flexible tubular sheath 13 encircling strength members 14 extending axially of the sheath 13, tubing 15 within the sheath 13 for receiving a bare optical fiber 2,3 interconnected to an optical component 1, a ferrule 18 to which the strength members 14 are anchored, a sleeve 16 for clamping the strength members 14 against the ferrule 18, a shrinkable sleeve 17 for gripping the sleeve 16 and a portion of the sheath 13, a housing 10 for assembly over the optical component 1 and for anchoring the ferrule 18, and an optical connector 12 for connection to a corresponding bare optical fiber 2,3 emergent from an end 23 of the sheath 13.
摘要:
A reversible optical switch which allows a node to be inserted into or removed from a fiber optic network is disclosed. In a first state, the switch of the present invention provides a path between an incoming optical fiber and the node receiver and a path between the node transmitter and an outgoing optical fiber. In a second state, the switch connects the incoming and outgoing fibers, so that the network bypasses the node and connects the transmitter and receiver so that the bypassed node can be tested.
摘要:
An optical switch for switching the light output of one optical fiber into another optical fiber is disclosed. The optical switch includes an imaging system having a symmetry such as a spherical reflector. The switch also includes a group of optical fiber end faces including a first optical fiber end face via which light is transmitted to the imaging system and second and third fiber end faces. A translation mechanism is provided for linearly translating the group of fiber end faces and imaging system relative to one another between a first position in which the light from the first fiber end face is imaged by the imaging system into the second fiber end face and a second position in which light from the first fiber end face is imaged by the imaging system into the third fiber end face. The switch may be used to selectively remove a node from a fiber optic network having a ring like configuration.
摘要:
A housing member has a profiled bore extending therethrough in one section of which a ferrule member containing an electro-optic member is secured by a removable retaining clip member that also acts as a heat sink member. Another ferrule member of a fiber optic connector terminated onto a fiber optic transmission member is disposed in another section of the profiled bore and is latchably secured therein by spring latching members secured in the housing.
