摘要： A fiber optic cable assembly includes a distribution cable and a tether cable physically coupled thereto. The distribution cable has a cavity through which a fiber optic ribbon extends, and the tether cable includes a jacket and an optical fiber. The distribution cable includes a network access point at a mid-span location, which includes an opening between the cavity to the exterior of the distribution cable. At least a portion of the ribbon extends through the opening. The ribbon of the distribution cable includes a plurality of optical fibers, and the optical fiber of the tether cable is spliced to an optical fiber of the ribbon. The corresponding spliced connection is surrounded by the jacket of the tether cable, whereby the jacket serves as a housing.

摘要： Fiber optic connectors and components for fiber optic connectors with improved side-loading performance are disclosed along with methods for making the same. The fiber optic connector (100) includes a ferrule (12), a ferrule holder (114), and a housing (16). The ferrule holder (114) has a forward portion with a spherical feature (115) that includes a first portion with a compound surface for cooperating with the housing (16). The spherical feature (115) of the ferrule holder (114) permits rotational translation of the ferrule holder (114) in two degrees of freedom relative to the housing (16) and inhibits the longitudinal translation of the ferrule holder (114) in same two degrees of freedom relative to the housing (16), thereby providing improved side-loading performance.

摘要： Disclosed are optical ports and devices having a minimalist footprint. Specifically, the optical ports and devices have a footprint where the optical elements are exposed at a frame of the device. Additionally, a frame of the device provides a portion of the mating surface for engaging a complimentary optical plug during mating with the optical port on the device. This minimalist footprint advantageously allows for a smaller portion of the optical port to be exposed to the environment and subject to damage and/or wear. Further, the optical port provides a clean and sleek optical port on the device with a relatively small surface that may be cleaned or wiped by the user as necessary.

摘要： A fiber management frame for a fiber optic closure having a removable tray holder configured to mount a fiber optic tray offset from a fiber management interface. The tray holder has optical fibers mounted thereon and can be mounted and/or removed from the fiber management interface without interfering with optical fibers mounted on the fiber management interface. The fiber management interface defines a first slack storage area for a first group of optical fibers. The removable tray holder defines a second slack storage area for a second group of optical fibers offset from the fiber management interface. The fiber optic tray can be mounted to or removed from the fiber management interface without interfering with the first group of optical fibers.

摘要： Embodiments disclosed herein include fiber optic connectors employing a movable optical interface connected by optical fibers to a fiber optic cable, components and methods. In one embodiment, the movable optical interface (12) moves between an extended position (32) for cleaning by the user of the movable optical interface and a retracted position (34) to optically connect the fiber optic connector (610) to an optical device (68) in a mechanically-secure manner. Because the fiber optic cable (24) employs the movable optical interfaces (12), embodiments described herein involve one or more fiber protection features to inhibit optical fiber attenuation and/or damage to the end portions of the optical fibers.
