Abstract: A multi-fiber breakout assembly may include a breakout body portion that may be configured to break out a plurality of fiber cables from a multi-fiber cable, a body portion that may include a body-to-coupler engaging portion and a radially inward body-to-cable engaging portion that may be configured to engage an outwardly facing cable portion of a cable, and a coupler portion that may include a coupler-to-body engaging portion that may be configured to engage the body-to-coupler engaging portion of the body portion when the connector assembly is terminated on a cable. The coupler portion may be configured to move from a first position, where the coupler portion does not urge the radially inward body-to-cable engaging portion radially inward onto the outwardly facing cable portion of the multi-fiber cable, to a second position, where the coupler portion urges the radially body-to-cable engaging portion radially inward onto the outwardly facing cable portion of the cable so as to form a body-to-cable engagement portion when the coupler portion is in the second position. The body portion may include a breakout proximate body end portion that is located proximate to the breakout body portion when the coupler portion is in the second position. The coupler portion may be configured to tool-lessly provide a mechanical connector assembly-to-cable connection that may be configured to allow the connector to be connected to the cable without having to use a tool.

Abstract: A connector includes a body and a cap configured to be threadedly coupled with the body. The body is configured to receive a fiber optic cable therein and to be coupled with a sub-assembly of a fiber optic connector, an inner surface of the body includes an annularly-extending ridge that protrudes radially inward, and the body is configured to be radially compressed on a jacket of the fiber optic cable when the cap is threadedly coupled with the body.

Abstract: A fiber optic cable assembly includes a fiber optic cable and a fiber optic connector. The fiber optic cable has an outer surface that includes a plurality of annular grooves spaced apart from one another in an axial direction of the fiber optic cable, and a plurality of axial grooves that extend in the axial direction. The plurality of axial grooves being spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction of the fiber optic cable, the plurality of axial grooves are configured to divide the outer surface in a circumferential direction of the linear member into separate section, the separate sections are configured to hinge against each other such that the linear member is bendable to a predetermined bend radius, the fiber optic connector includes an axial ridge configured to be received by one of the plurality of axial grooves, and cooperative engagement between the axial ridge of the fiber optic connector and the one of the plurality of axial grooves of the fiber optic cable prevents rotation of the fiber optic cable relative to the fiber optic connector.

Abstract: A fiber optic connector includes a body portion and a coupling portion configured to be coupled with the body portion. The body portion is configured to receive a fiber optic cable, and the coupling portion is configured to radially compress a portion of the body portion onto an outer jacket of a fiber optic cable to clamp the outer jacket and to prevent relative axial movement between the fiber optic cable and the connector when the coupling portion is coupled with the body portion so as to mechanically couple the body portion with the fiber optic cable without having to use a crimping tool.

Abstract: A fiber optic cable includes an outer surface, an axial groove and an additional annular groove. The outer surface includes an annular groove. The axial groove that extends in an axial direction of the fiber optic cable. The additional annular groove is configured to separates sections of the outer surface. The axial groove is configured to be gripped by a connector to prevent rotation of the fiber optic cable relative to the connector. The separate sections are configured to hinge against each other such that the fiber optic cable is bendable to a predetermined bend radius.
