    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein include ferrule assembly having a ferrule and a ferrule boot that is coupled to the ferrule. The ferrule boot is used for aligning an array of optical fibers in the desired arrangement when entering the ferrule. In one embodiment, the ferrule boot may have a two-piece construction that includes a fiber alignment portion that defines a first groove for a first row of optical fibers and a cover portion. Moreover, the ferrule boot may be configured to accommodate multiple rows of optical fibers. Other embodiments may use a bendable material for the ferrule boot and/or include color coding for aiding the craft with fiber positioning.

    摘要: A fiber optic connector assembly and method employing one or more fiber movement supports. The one or more fiber movement supports are each disposed around one or more optical fibers and are configured to inhibit kinks or sharp bends from occurring in the one or more optical fibers. The fiber movement support is more rigid than an optical fiber. Thus, when a force is exerted on an optical fiber in a direction angled to the axis of the optical fiber, the force is directed to the fiber movement support. The fiber movement support translates the non-axial force in a direction toward the axis of the optical fiber. This causes the optical fiber to be pushed back towards the fiber optic cable instead of the kinking or bending the optical fiber, thus avoiding or reducing high insertion losses resulting from bending of the optical fiber.

    摘要: Molded fiber optic cable furcation assemblies, and related fiber optic components, assemblies, and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, an end portion of a fiber optic cable with a portion of a cable jacket removed to expose optical fibers and/or a cable strength member(s) therein and thereafter placing the cable into a mold for creating a molded furcation plug about the end portion of the fiber optic cable. The furcation plug may be overmolded about the end portion of the fiber optic cable. The molded furcation plug can be used to pull a fiber optic cable without damaging the optical fiber(s) disposed within the fiber optic cable. The molded furcation plug is advantageous since it manufactured with fewer parts, without epoxy, and/or without a labor intensive process that may be difficult to automate.

    摘要: A fiber optic connector that employs an optical fiber guide member, and a cable assembly that uses the connector are disclosed. The connector has a connector housing formed by mateable sections. The connector housing defines a housing passage having opposite connector-end and channel-end portions that define respective connector-end and channel-end passages, with the channel-end portion configured to be arranged adjacent the end of a fiber optic cable. An optical fiber guide member is disposed in the channel-end passage and has a first transition end that faces the connector-end passage. The optical fiber guide member has a conduit configured to loosely confine and guide the optical fibers to the connector-end passage. Connector sub-assemblies can be operably supported at the connector-end portion supporting end portions of the optical fiber.

    摘要: An exemplary apparatus includes ferrule offset assemblies each having opposing ferrules with respective ends and respective fiber channels maintained in general relative and adjustable alignment. Offset adjusting devices adjust the relative alignment of the fiber channels to create at least one select fiber channel alignment offset. Respective multimode fibers are disposed in the fiber channels and have a fiber alignment corresponding to the fiber channel alignment. One of the multimode fibers has an end configured to optically couple to a launch multimode fiber, which is connected to a device having a light source. The multimode fiber receives light from the launch multimode fiber so that at least some of the light passes through to the other multimode fiber and then to a power meter. Power measurements for different fiber offsets are then compared to established attenuation values.
