Embodiment Construction

[0030] Various embodiments will be further clarified by way of examples in the description that follows. to this end, figure 1 An example of a fiber optic connector 10 (also "optical connector 10", or simply "connector 10") and adapter 12 is shown, which together represent a fiber optic connector system 14 (hereinafter "system 14"). Connector 10 and adapter 12 are each discussed in greater detail below. Generally, the connector 10 is designed to have a low profile to enable high density interconnection. Accordingly, connector 10 is particularly suitable for data centers and other environments where many connections are required in a small space. It is even possible to refer to connector 10, adapter 12 and system 14 as a "DC connector", "DC adapter" and "DC connector system", respectively.

[0031] still refer to figure 1 , the connector 10 includes: a first ferrule 20 and a second ferrule 22; an inner connector body 24 having a front end 26 from which the first ferrule and...

Abstract

A fiber optic connector comprising: at least one ferrule configured to support at least one optical fiber; an inner connector body having a front end, the at least one ferrule extending from the a front end extends; a latch arm extending outwardly from the inner connector body; and a handle. The handle has a housing portion in which the inner connector body is at least partially received, and a grip portion extending rearwardly from the housing portion. The handle is movable relative to the inner connector body such that the housing portion can flex the latch arm toward the inner connector body.

Description

[0001] priority application [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 388,129, filed January 20, 2016, and U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 398,673, filed September 23, 2016, the contents of which are herein basis, and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to fiber optic connectors, and more particularly, to fiber optic connectors suitable for use in data centers and the like. The present disclosure also relates to cable assemblies, systems and methods including such fiber optic connectors. Background technique [0004] Fiber optics and copper wires are used in a wide variety of applications, including for data transmission in the telecommunications industry. In telecommunications systems using any of these data transmission elements, there are typically many locations where cables carrying the elements connect to equipment...
