Abstract

The present invention relates to a positioning means for a fibre optic connector assembly, a fibre optic connector assembly and a fibre termination unit comprising the positioning means through which manufacturing tolerances can be absorbed to provide an improved optical interconnection with a high signal transmission rate. The positioning means (1) comprises a receiving means (5) for receiving one of a jack assembly or plug assembly (2) and a stationary support (6) supporting said receiving means (5), wherein the receiving means (5) is displaceable to a certain extent relative to the stationary support (6) at least along one direction other than a connection direction for optically interconnecting the optical fibers allowing an alignment of the receivable jack or plug assembly (2) along the direction transversal to the connection direction. A spring loaded element (8) resiliently urges said receiving means (5) away from the support (6) in one embodiment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to positioning devices for fiber optic connector assemblies, fiber optic connector assemblies and fiber termination units for use primarily in the technical field of broadband network architectures in which optical fibers replace at least Metal circuit (loop) parts. Background technique [0002] In the last mile telecommunication, an interface such as Fiber Termination Unit (FTU) is needed between the provider side and the client side to convert the optical signal received from the provider side transmit it to the client side and vice versa. The interface typically includes a panel or motherboard that receives the optical fibers to provide a first fiber optic connection and a circuit board secured to the panel or motherboard and to provide a second fiber optic connection that connects to the parts are connected to said first fiber optic connection parts for optically interconnecting the fiber optic elements respectively ...
