An optical adaptor for mounting to a receptacle to optically couple connectorized optical cables comprises an optical interface to optically couple a first connectorized optical cable terminated by a first optical connector and a second connectorized optical cable terminated by a second optical connector. The optical adaptor further comprises a mounting element being configured to insert the optical interface and being mountable to the receptacle. The mounting element is secured to the receptacle, when the first optical connector is mounted to the mounting element in a first state, and the mounting element is released from the receptacle, when the first optical connector is mounted to the mounting element in a second state allowing to pull the optical adaptor out of the receptacle.

An outdoor rated ingress protected one-piece adapter with a first and second end. First end accepts a fiber optic adapter configured to accept a LC, SN, CS, SC or MPO fiber ferrule assembly. A second end accepts a cable gland assembly that secures a cable therein. The first end is configured to accept an outdoor rated connector having a fiber connector therein. The connector/adapter assembly is rated for outdoor use.

A telecommunication enclosure includes an environmentally sealed housing having an interior volume. The sealed enclosure includes a housing wall defining an opening that extends from the interior to an exterior of the enclosure, the housing wall defining interior threads within the opening. A port-defining element mounts within the opening, the port-defining element defining exterior threads that are threadingly mated with respect to the interior threads to retain the port-defining element within the opening. The port-defining element defines a connector port for receiving a hardened fiber optic connector.

The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic network configuration having an optical network terminal located at a subscriber location. The fiber optic network configuration also includes a drop terminal located outside the subscriber location and a wireless transceiver located outside the subscriber location. The fiber optic network further includes a cabling arrangement including a first signal line that extends from the drop terminal to the optical network terminal, a second signal line that extends from the optical network terminal to the wireless transceiver, and a power line that extends from the optical network terminal to the wireless transceiver.

The connector shroud of the present invention includes an inner housing, a coupling nut and a lock nut. The inner housing is hollow and a grooved control link is formed on the outer surface of the inner housing. The grooved control link extends in a longitudinal direction. The coupling nut is hollow and is sleeved onto the inner housing. A receiving recess is formed on the inner surface of the front end of the coupling nut for accommodating a protrusion provided on a flange. A tab protrudes from the rear end of the coupling nut. A control slot is formed on the tab and includes a first section and a second section. The second section communicates with the first section and extends in a direction not parallel to the longitudinal direction. The lock nut is hollow and sleeved onto the inner housing. A first pin and a second pin are formed on the inner surface of the lock nut. The first pin is disposed in the grooved control link. The second pin is located in the second section, wherein the movement of the lock nut causes the coupling nut to rotate.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a telecommunications terminal including fiber optic adapters mounted to or integrated with a side wall of a housing of the telecommunications terminal. The telecommunications terminal also includes an output stub cable having a free end located outside the housing. The fiber optic adapters include ruggedized first demateable fiber optic connection locations accessible from outside the housing and the free end of the stub cable includes a second demateable fiber optic connection location accessible from outside the housing.

A fiber optic cable assembly includes a fiber optic cable and a fiber optic connector. The cable includes a jacket having an elongated transverse cross-sectional profile that defines a major axis and a minor axis. Strength components of the cable are anchored to the connector. The fiber optic connector includes a multi-fiber ferrule defining a major axis that is generally perpendicular to the major axis of the jacket and a minor axis that is generally perpendicular to the minor axis of the jacket. Certain types of connectors include a connector body defining a side opening that extends along a length of the connector body; a multi-fiber ferrule configured for lateral insertion into the connector body through the side opening; and a cover that mounts over the side opening after the multi-fiber ferrule has been inserted into the connector body through the side opening.

The present disclosure relates to a ruggedized/hardened fiber optic connection system designed to reduce cost. In one example, selected features of a fiber optic adapter are integrated with a wall (24) of an enclosure (22). The adapter comprises a sleeve port (26) into which an optical adapter subassembly is inserted. The subassembly comprises a sleeve part (44) which is inserted into the sleeve, a ferrule alignment sleeve (48) which is inserted into the sleeve part, a ferrule (55) with hub which is inserted into the alignment sleeve, and fixing clip (46) securing the ferrule with hub into the alignment sleeve and the sleeve part.

An optical fibres connector for an optoelectronic active implantable medical device (AIMD) for implantation in a living body is provided. The optical fibres connector includes a male component (M) coupled to a first set of optical fibres, a female component (F) coupled to a second set of optical fibres or optical elements, and a coupling component (C) for reversibly locking the male and female components in a coupled position. The optical fibres or optical elements are in perfect alignment. The coupling component includes a fixed element (40f) and a rotatable element (40r) all optical fibres (41f) and optical elements of the connector remaining static upon rotation of the rotatable element, reversibly locking the male and female components in the coupled position is achieved by rotating the rotatable element with respect to the fixed element.

A fiber optic connection system includes a fiber optic connector and an adapter assembly. The fiber optic connector is coupled to the adapter assembly with a fast coupling mechanism. The fast coupling mechanism allows the fiber optic connector to be mounted into the adapter assembly with rotation of the fiber optic connector relative to the adapter assembly less than a full turn.
