摘要： A removable cable gland includes a two-piece fitting which may be laterally assembled over a cable, as opposed to a cable being fed through an opening in the fitting. A two-piece compression nut may also be laterally assembled over the cable. The two pieces of the compression nut are slid together along a longitudinal direction of the cable by a tongue and groove arrangement. The two pieces of the fitting are plugged together in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable. Once first threads of the fitting are engaged to second threads of the compression nut, the two-piece fitting is locked together by the surrounding compression nut. Simultaneously, the two-piece compression nut is locked together, such that the tongue may not slide longitudinally relative to the groove, due to the first and second thread engagement.

摘要： An attenuator for optical signals includes a base. A first ferrule has a first optic fiber passing through a central bore therein and attached to a first lens at an end of the first ferrule. The first ferrule is fixed in position relative to the base. A second ferrule has a second optic fiber passing through a central bore therein and attached to a second lens at an end of the second ferrule. The second lens faces the first lens. The second ferrule is fixed to the base and can be moved relative to the base by a user adjustment feature, so that the second lens may be moved relative to the first lens. The relative placement between the first and second lens controls the attenuation of the attenuator.
