Problems solved by technology

In order to reduce the number of adapters required, it is known to combine multiple one-to-one connections, for example, to provide a two-to-two connection, however, known adapter designs are not easily scalable, which exacerbates manufacturing and assembly problems
[0008] Another problem with current adapters is that when performing failure analysis, the shutter blocks viewing the test signal from the launch fiber

Embodiment Construction

[0064] figure 1 A fiber optic adapter 1 for a fiber optic connector assembly according to the invention is shown. The adapter 1 comprises first and second housings 3, 5 which are ultrasonically welded together.

[0065] The first housing 3 is configured to receive four optical fiber connectors (not shown), arranged in a 2×2 array. The first housing 3 includes a first portion 3a for receiving a first fiber optic connector, a second portion 3b for receiving a second fiber optic connector, a third portion 3c for receiving a third fiber optic connector, and a third portion 3c for receiving a The fourth part of the fourth fiber optic connector (refer to figure 2 ).

[0066] The first housing 3 is also arranged to receive a multi-connector. For example, the first multiconnector can be fitted into the first and third parts 3a, 3c simultaneously. The second multiconnector can be fitted simultaneously into the second and fourth parts 3b, 3d. This provides a universal housing 3 ....

Abstract

A fibre optic cable adaptor 1 for fibre optic cables has a housing 3 to receive fibre optic connectors, with a first part 3a receiving a first fibre optic connector and a second part 3b for receiving a second fibre optic connector. A first shutter 23 pivots relative to the housing 3 between closed and open positions in response to insertion of the first fibre optic connector and a second shutter 27 pivots relative to the housing 3 between closed and open positions in response to insertion of the second fibre optic connector. A spring unit 41 has first and second springs 45, 49 to bias the first and second shutters 23, 27 to a closed position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fiber optic adapter for a fiber optic cable assembly. Background technique [0002] In digital communication systems, fiber optic cables are usually connected together by adapters. the adapter is configured to receive a first cable in a groove on a first side and a second cable in a groove on a second side, and hold the first and second cables together such that their ends are generally axially aligned, This allows the receive cable to receive light from the transmit cable. [0003] The problem with this type of adapter is that if the receive cable is removed from the adapter while the transmit cable is emitting light, light can spill out of the adapter, which is not desired. [0004] To solve this problem, some adapters include shutters to prevent light spillage. There are many different structures available. The inventors have recognized that many of these available adapters are unnecessarily difficult to manufa...
