The present disclosure relates to a fusion splice matched pair detachable connector for high fiber count applications where optical fiber alignment is maintained during processing of the detachable connector.

A fiber optic cable distribution box has an interface compartment for interfacing a first set of fibers when routed inside the compartment, with a second set of fibers associated with a fiber optic cable that is routed to the box. A drum region is disposed beneath the interface compartment. The drum region includes a cylindrical wall for supporting a fiber optic cable wound about the wall. The drum region is formed so that the box can turn about the axis of the cylindrical wall when a cable is paid out from the drum region. The interface compartment and the drum region are constructed so that the first set of fibers inside the interface compartment, originate from an inside end portion of the cable wound on the drum region.

A fiber optic cassette including a body defining a front and an opposite rear and an enclosed interior. A cable entry location is defined in the body for a cable to enter the interior of the cassette. The cable which enters at the cable entry location is attached to the cassette body and the fibers are extended into the cassette body and form terminations at connectors. The connectors are connected to adapters located at the front of the cassette. A front side of the adapters defines termination locations for cables to be connected to the fibers connected at the rear of the adapters. A cable including a jacket, a strength member, and fibers enters the cassette. The strength member is crimped to a crimp tube and is mounted to the cassette body, allowing the fibers to extend past the crimp tube into the interior of the cassette body. A strain relief boot is provided at the cable entry location.

Telecommunications assemblies and modules incorporating demateable fiber optic connection interfaces for coupling non-ferrulized optical fibers.

A fiber distribution hub comprises a housing, a first side panel and a second side panel comprising one or more ports, and at least one cover disposed between the first side panel and the second side panel and forming an interior compartment. The interior compartment may include cable managers. A mounting structure aerially strand mounts the fiber distribution hub. Fiber distribution hubs comprising a first fiber distribution hub, a second fiber distribution hub configured to couple to the first fiber distribution hub, and a mounting structure configured to aerially strand mount the fiber distribution hub are also disclosed.

Fiber optic connectors and connectorized fiber optic cables include connector housings having locking portions defined on the connector housing that allow the connector housing to be selectively coupled to a corresponding push-button securing member of a multiport assembly. Methods for selectively connecting a fiber optic connector to, and disconnecting the fiber optic connector from the multiport assemblies allow for connector housings to be forcibly and nondestructively removed from the multiport assembly.

An optical fiber termination system includes a housing, a cable, and a catch. The housing defines a portion of a passageway and a surface surrounding the passageway. The passageway defines a central axis and the surface defines an interior of the housing. The cable is receivable through the portion of the passageway. The cable includes an optical fiber and defines a longitudinal axis. The catch is receivable in the housing and attachable to and extendable from the cable in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis such that the catch limits movement of the cable in a direction away from the interior of the housing when the catch is received in the housing and the cable is received through the portion of the first passageway.

A fiber optic cable assembly suitable for providing mesh connectivity includes a fiber shuffle region arranged between first and second cable assembly sections that each include multiple tubes each containing a group of optical fibers, with a jacket provided over one or both cable assembly sections. The fiber shuffle region may be compact in width and length, and integrated into a trunk cable. Optical fibers remain in sequential order in groups at ends of the cable assembly sections, where the fibers may be ribbonized and/or connectorized. A fabrication method for such a fiber optic cable assembly is also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to an optical fiber processing apparatus. The optical fiber processing apparatus comprising: a fixing module for fixing an optical fiber; and a stripping module for stripping layers outside an uncoated bare fiber of the optical fiber, The stripping module may comprise a stripping member which comprises two bodies arranged in parallel. Each body is provided with two or more kinds of blades suitable for stripping different sizes of layers outside the uncoated bare fiber, and each body is configured to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis to select different blades among the two or more kinds of blades, thereby enabling the stripping member to strip two or more sizes of layers outside the uncoated bare fiber.

The box houses and holds a connection terminal (TC), coupling an end connector (CE) of a drop cable (CD) and an end plug (PE) of an optical cord (CO) of a user and with a base (10) having a front face (10a) including a jaw (20) at a first edge (11) that receives and holds the drop cable (CD), a pair of lateral claws (30) in the middle locking the connection terminal (TC), and a stop (18) at a second edge (12) with a middle window (18a) enabling the optical cord (CO) to pass through. The box also includes a cover (60) with a front wall (61), and end walls (62) with windows (62a) that surround a portion of the jaw (20) and the middle window (18a) of the stop (18), and longitudinal walls (63), that can be locked on the front face (10a) of the base (10).
