The present disclosure relates to fiber optic cable clamps and fiber optic cable clamp assemblies that includes cable clamps having bracket slots that receive bracket arms for securing a plurality of cable fan-outs at or near their point of connection to telecommunications equipment.

The present disclosure relates to a fiber management device or system for facilitating routing and storing optical fibers. The fiber management device includes a flexible, film-like substrate that has optical fiber management, storing functionality, and splicing functionality all on one film-like substrate. The flexible, film-like substrate can provide a routing path for routing optical fibers onto a flexible planar substrate that can be temporarily supported by, mounted on or attached to the flexible planar substrate. The flexible, film-like substrate can accommodate fibers that are in a multi-fiber (e.g., ribbon) configuration or a single fiber configuration.

Cable support devices and assemblies are provided. A cable support device supports multiple fiber-optic cables on an above-ground pole. A cable support device includes a base, and a first arm and a second arm extending from the base, the first arm and second arm generally parallel to each other. The cable support device further includes a cross-member extending between and connected to the first arm and the second arm. The cable support device further includes at least one divider member extending radially outwardly from the cross-member, the at least one divider member spaced from the first arm and the second arm and defining at least two slots, each of the at least two slots further defined by the cross-member.

A fiber optic communications arrangement includes a closure with an interior volume; the closure including at least one cable through-port in communication with the interior volume; and an expansion component attached to an exterior portion of the closure and having an interior region in communication with the closure interior volume. The expansion component includes ruggedized fiber optic adapters mounted thereto. Each of the ruggedized fiber optic adapters includes at least one connector port for receiving ruggedized fiber optic connectors.

A transparent light-guiding unit for guiding imaging light, a positioning portion provided at the transparent light-guiding unit, a camera for performing space detection of an external space, and a camera holder that contacts the positioning portion and is attached to the transparent light-guiding unit, and holds the camera are provided. In this case, the camera holder contacts the positioning portion, thus, when the camera is attached to the transparent light-guiding unit, high positional accuracy is reliably maintained.

A deformable carrier assembly adapted to hold an elongate light guide in a vehicle, the deformable carrier assembly including: a first component adapted to receive and retain a first portion of the elongate light guide and including a break-away pin at an end thereof; and a second component adapted to receive and retain a second portion of the elongate light guide and including a loop structure at an end thereof; wherein the loop structure is adapted to engage the break-away pin and couple the first component to the second component; and wherein the break-away pin is adapted to be sheared off of the end of the first component and decouple the first component from the second component when a lateral force is applied to one or more of the first component and the second component.

Disclosed are an optical module unlocking device and an optical module. For the optical module unlocking device, a boss is arranged on a metal front end of a pull ring. The boss abuts against the skewed slot of an upper cover. The metal front end located in the upper cover can slide relatively along the limiting post of the upper cover and at least one boss is driven to slide into the skewed slot of the upper cover and then hide into the bottom of the skewed slot or abut against a bevel edge of the at least one skewed slot and then bulge. After the at least one boss abuts against the bevel edge of the at least one skewed slot and then bulges, a shielding cage spring strip which is about to be cooperated with the boss is opened by being pushed upwards, and the optical module can be unlocked. The reliability of the optical module unlocking device is high and the unlocking motion of the optical module is simple. The optical module unlocking device of the present disclosure has the advantages of less component quantities, simple assembling, high assembling efficiency and low cost.

A medical optical fiber guidewire converter includes a first connector; a second connector; a conversing optical fiber with an overcurrent channel configured to transmit laser light and including a first and second optical fibers and a connecting optical fiber, a diameter of the first optical fiber is greater than that of the second optical fiber, the first optical fiber is connected to the first connector, and the second optical fiber is connected to the second connector; and a heat sink on the conversing optical fiber. The medical optical fiber guidewire converter couples optical fiber guidewires with different core diameters using the connecting optical fiber, thereby ensuring safety and reliability of laser light transmission in the overcurrent channel. The heat sink can absorb laser light overflowing from the conversing optical fiber and dissipate heat therefrom to reduce the temperature of and avoid thermal damage to the conversing optical fiber.

A method of operating a multi-axis fiber scanner having a base including a base plane includes providing a source of electromagnetic radiation, directing the electromagnetic radiation through a fiber link that passes through the base plane of the base along a longitudinal axis orthogonal to the base plane, and supporting a retention collar positioned a distance from the base plane. The method also includes actuating a first piezoelectric actuator among a plurality of piezoelectric actuators to decrease the distance between a first side of the base and the retention collar, actuating a second piezoelectric actuator among the plurality of piezoelectric actuators to increase the distance between a second side of the base and the retention collar, and scanning the fiber link in a scanning plane.

A connector is employed for bonding a locatable tracer wire with a lead wire. A base has a first receiving slot and an axial slot which intersects the receiving slot. A contact plate is slidably receivable in the axial slot and is dimensioned to accommodate a tracer wire and an insulator cover received in the receiving slot at a first axial position and to sever the cover and conductively engage the tracer at a second axial position. A fastener threadably engages the base. Upon tightening the fastener to the base, a shoulder extending from the contact plate is displaced and ultimately stopped so that the plate is disposed at the second position. The lead wire is also secured by the fastener.
