The connector shroud of the present invention includes an inner housing, a cam, a coupling nut and a lock nut. The inner housing has a grooved control link formed on an outer surface. The grooved control link extends in a longitudinal direction. The cam is disposed on the inner housing and is rotatable on the inner housing. The coupling nut is sleeved onto the inner housing. The coupling nut is configured to be coupled to an object. The coupling nut includes a tab extending from a rear end. The tab has a control slot formed thereon. The control slot extends in a direction not parallel to the longitudinal direction. The lock nut is sleeved onto the inner housing and includes a first pin and a second pin formed on an inner surface. The first pin is movable in the grooved control link and the second pin is movable in the control slot. When the second pin is in the control slot, a movement of the lock nut causes the coupling nut to rotate. When the first pin moves in the grooved control link in the longitudinal direction, the lock nut contacts the cam to make the cam rotate. The rotating cam applies a force perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to the tab to rotate the coupling nut.

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.

Fiber optic connection assemblies that may include hybrid adapters and connector assemblies are generally described. The hybrid adapter may be configured to connect a first connector type and a second connector type, the first connector type being different from the second connector type. For example, the first connector type may be a micro connector and the second connector type may be an LC connector. A connector assembly may be configured as a micro connector having a tension element configured to facilitate optimized optical performance by spring loading the ferrules while maintaining a small form factor.

A micro connector kit includes first and second ferrules and first and second micro connector ferrule housings. Each first and second micro connector ferrule housing defines a cavity sized and shaped to receive a respective one of the first and second ferrules with the first and second ferrules being disposed in closely spaced relation with the respective first or second micro connector ferrule housing when in each cavity. The first and second micro connector ferrule housings can be releasably coupled together such that the first and second ferrules form an optical connection when the first and second micro connector ferrule housings are coupled together. The first and second micro connector ferrule housings have first and second connection structure for releasably coupling the first and second micro connector housings together.

An optical connecting component is an optical connecting component to be connected to another optical connecting component, which includes an optical waveguide component, an alignment component for fixing the optical waveguide component, and a magnetic structure integrated with the alignment component. A positioning structure is provided on a connecting end face of the alignment component, in which the positioning structure determines a relative position between the connecting end face and a connecting end face of an alignment component provided in the other optical connecting component.

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.

A sealing enclosure is configured to connect to a mating enclosure. The sealing enclosure loosely receives a connector within a connector volume so that the connector, which may be of a standard type used in electronic or optic data transmission, may be displaced within a plug face at the forward end of the connector volume. The connector may compensate variations in the position of a mating connector with respect to the mating enclosure. The sealing enclosure allows to seal off the connector volume and engage the sealing enclosure with a mating enclosure in a single motion. This is affected by having a cable seal interposed between an inner body and an outer body. If the outer body is moved forward to engage the mating connector, the cable seal is squeezed between the cable and the inner body sealing off the connector volume at the rearward end of the inner body.

An optical fiber connector is provided. A receptacle has an angled interior surface that acts to guide an optical fiber into the correct position as a jack is inserted into the receptacle.

The present disclosure relates to ruggedized push-pull fiber optic connection system. The fiber optic connection system includes a push-pull connector that is adapted to be latched within and sealed with respect to a connector port.

An optical fiber plug includes a plug body, a locking structure, and an unlocking structure. The locking structure is located on a side wall of the plug body, and configured to, when the plug body is inserted into an optical fiber adapter in an insertion direction, match an elastic bolt of the optical fiber adapter, to lock a relative position between the plug body and the optical fiber adapter. The unlocking structure is located on the side wall of the plug body, and configured to, when the plug body is detached from the optical fiber adapter in a direction opposite to the insertion direction, release matching between the locking structure and the elastic bolt. By using the optical fiber plug, a problem related to complexity of mounting and removal is resolved and a space is for operation can be reduced.
