A hybrid ingress protection adapter and connector assembly, connecting the housing with a releasably replaceable connector and power assembly to an adapter that is mount on a panel. The connector has a pair of lead-ins that protect a ferrule of a plural of fiber optic connectors, and the lead-ins are of varying length allow blind mating of the connector assembly with the adapter assembly.

A cartridge includes an outer case, partially filled with electrically insulating gel, and at least one electrically conductive track submerged in the insulating gel. Connection sets including at least one connector half and such a cartridge are also disclosed.

An underwater connector half includes a base and at least two electrical connection terminals respectively connected to two electric wires received in at least one cable. The two electrical connection terminals are ring-shaped and coaxial about an axis located along a direction of assembly of a complementary connector half and the base has a side wall that is parallel to the axis and through which passes the cable. An underwater connector including such a connector half is also disclosed.

A connector for coupling a fiber optic cable with a connection point includes a connector body at a first end of the connector and extending in a longitudinal direction and a connector housing at a second end of the connector. The connector body defines a first longitudinal conduit configured to receive a duct, and the duct is configured to slidingly receive the fiber optic cable. A compression fitting is configured to be received about a first end of the connector body and to slide relative to the connector body in the longitudinal direction to radially compress the first end of the connector body to grip the duct. The connector housing includes a second longitudinal conduit substantially aligned with the first longitudinal conduit in the longitudinal direction and a connection portion configured to couple the fiber optic cable to the connection point. The first longitudinal conduit and the second longitudinal conduit are configured to slidingly receive the fiber optic cable.

A cover for a fiber optic cable connection includes a cap portion having a first housing portion having a first housing wall, a second housing portion having a second housing wall, and a coupler portion that couples the first housing portion and the second housing portion in a closed position. The first housing wall and the second housing wall define a housing opening. A sealing assembly is received within the housing opening and has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface defines a sealing opening that receives a fiber optic cable. The outer surface contacts at least one of the first housing wall or the second housing wall when the sealing assembly is received within the housing opening. The sealing assembly creates an additional seal when the first housing wall and the second housing wall compress the sealing assembly onto a union portion.

In a connector for terminating a cable, a connector housing has a rear end portion including a first shoulder. An inner connector assembly is received in the connector housing. The inner connector assembly includes at least one ferrule exposed and a back body with a back post. At least one strength member is secured to the back post. A rear bracing member is received in the connector housing. The rear bracing member has a front end portion and a rear end portion spaced apart along the longitudinal axis. The front end portion of the rear bracing member is configured to engage the back body and the rear end portion of the rear bracing member is configured to engage the first shoulder of the connector housing such that the rear bracing member substantially braces the back body against rearward displacement along the longitudinal axis relative to the connector housing.

The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic connector for use with a fiber optic adapter. The fiber optic connector includes a connector housing having an end defining a plug portion. A ferrule assembly is mounted at least partially within the connector housing. The ferrule assembly includes a ferrule located at the plug portion of the connector housing. A sealing member is mounted about an exterior of the connector housing for providing a seal between the connector housing and the adapter. The fiber optic connector further includes first and second separate retaining mechanism for retaining the fiber optic connector within the fiber optic adapter.

A configurable subsea wet-mateable connector includes a receptacle connector body and a plug connector body. The subsea receptacle connector unit includes at least two receptacle inserts chosen from at least one of a power connector unit, a data connector unit, an optical fibre connector unit, a pneumatic connector unit or a fluid connector unit. The subsea plug connector unit includes at least two plug inserts having the same two of a power connector unit, a data connector unit, an optical fibre connector unit, a pneumatic connector unit or a fluid connector unit.

A waterproof optical fiber connector includes an SC-type connection member; a connection element including first external threads at a front end, rear second external threads, and a waterproof flange on an outer surface between the first external threads and the second external threads; an internally threaded waterproof inner shell put on the SC-type connection member and threadedly secured to the first external threads; a waterproof outer shell put on a portion of the waterproof inner shell and including external threads at a front end and threadedly secured to an internally threaded cap; and an internally threaded waterproof sleeve threadedly secured to the second external threads.

An optical connector plug for outdoor waterproof onsite assembly. A frame having slits sheathes and is fixed to an optical cable when the optical cable is constructed on a site. The optical connector plug is waterproofed by a protective tube and an O-ring. The optical cable has a tip at one side which is attached to an assembly in a sealing or mechanical manner, and the frame sheathing an outer side of the optical cable has one side end to which an outer peripheral edge of the assembly is coupled, has the one or more slits which are cut from a middle to the other side end and are formed to be widened and narrowed in compliance with an outer diameter of the optical cable, and has a step on an outer peripheral edge at one side end to be held by an inner peripheral edge of a housing.
