Problems solved by technology

[0006] Occasionally, an incomplete connection between connectors or between a connector and an adapter is formed that may not be detectable by the user
Additionally, fatigue or other stresses induced through use of the connectors may weaken the mechanical connection between the connectors or between the connector and the adapter, resulting in disconnected or inadequate connections.
This incomplete or broken connection results in reduced system performance or even complete system failure

Abstract

A connector assembly includes an adapter (2250), a housing device (2211), a ferrule assembly, and a sensor (2230). The housing device is received by the adapter and has a bore, a front end, and a rearend opposite the front end. A ferrule (2117B) of the ferrule assembly is within the bore of the housing device and has a mating end extending beyond the front end of the housing device. The sensor ismounted on the rear end of the housing device, the rear end of the ferrule assembly, or on the adapter confronting and spaced apart from the housing device or the ferrule assembly. The sensor is configured for detecting a force applied by the housing device or the ferrule assembly, respectively. An electrical characteristic of the sensor changes to indicate a predetermined force has been appliedby the housing device or the ferrule assembly, respectively.
