20050112939, May 26, 2005

Filed:

Oct 26, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/973476

Inventors:

Barbara Grzegorzewska - Riverside IL, US
Ilya Makhlin - Wheeling IL, US
Thomas Marrapode - Naperville IL, US
Mark Matuszewski - Elmhurst IL, US
David Rifkin - Aurora IL, US

International Classification:

H01R013/60

US Classification:

439534000

Abstract:

An adapter is mountable to a bulkhead, panel, circuit box, circuit board or other substrate, and receives a fiber optic connector. The adapter can be swiveled or rotated relative to the bulkhead, panel, circuit box, circuit board or other substrate, thereby providing for enhanced cable management. The adapter may include a gasket that reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI).

International Classification:

G02B 6/38

US Classification:

385075000

Abstract:

A hybrid optical/electrical connector and mated adapter for terminating at least one hybrid optical/electrical cable containing an optical fiber and a conductor. The connector includes a crimp body having an elongated conductive insert with an interior passage for receiving the optical fiber and a non-conductive shell covering the insert. The insert has a contact portion exposed through the shell and an end extending beyond the shell for electrical engagement with the hybrid cable conductor. The adapter includes a non-conductive housing with a plug connector receiving channel. Within the plug receiving channel, a conductor extends longitudinally. The conductor has a contact point within the channel in alignment with the exposed contact portion of the insert so that when the connector is inserted within the receiving channel, the exposed contact portion of the insert and the conductor contact point of the adapter are in electrical engagement with one another.

International Classification:

G02B 6/38

US Classification:

385 62, 385 60

Abstract:

An optical fiber connector includes a housing with at least one elongated cylindrical cavity, a fiber holder within the cavity including a ferrule which secures an optical fiber therein and a biasing member engaging the fiber holder to bias the ferrule towards an unmated position. A resilient metal latch is mounted on the housing for releasably securing the optical fiber connector to another component. A latch travel limiting structure prevents the latch from deflecting outside a desired predetermined path. Improved structures for mounting the latch on the housing and for creating a duplex connector assembly are also provided.

Inventors:

Mark Matuszewski - Elmhurst IL, US

Assignee:

Molex Incorporated - Lisle IL

International Classification:

G02B 6/38

US Classification:

385 60

Abstract:

An optical fiber connector assembly for mounting on a substrate includes a housing and a receptacle opening in a direction generally perpendicular to the substrate. A multi-fiber ferrule receives optical fibers with one of the optical fibers defining an optical fiber axis. A ferrule carrier with the ferrule is positioned within the receptacle. A locking member locks the ferrule carrier within the receptacle. In one embodiment, the locking member move generally parallel to the optical fiber axis. In another embodiment, the locking member rotates relative to the optical fiber axis.
