Problems solved by technology

[0007] Another problem posed by fiber optic connectors includes feeding the connector and its terminated fiber optic cable through various structures such as substrates, walls, conduits, and outlets.
These boots add to the installation cost of fiber optic connectors, increase inventory and other aspects, so are often not ideal

Embodiment Construction

[0020] With careful reference to the drawings, and first to Figures 1 and 2, the present invention is configured in a fiber optic connector assembly, generally designated 10, comprising a fiber optic cable connector, generally designated 12, and a fiber optic connector, generally designated 14, secured to Dual function dust cover on the connector.

[0021] Still referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the fiber optic connector 12 includes a multi-part housing 15 that surrounds a ferrule holder 16 (FIG. 2) that houses a plurality of ferrules that protrude slightly beyond the front face 16a of the holder 16. . In effect, the bracket 16 forms the plug portion at the mating end 20 of the connector, and the plug portion is surrounded by a baffle or a shoulder. Connector 12 terminates a fiber optic cable 22 that includes a plurality of optical fibers 24 terminated in ferrule 18 (FIG. 2). A pair of alignment pins 26 project forwardly beyond the mating end 20 of the connector for insertion into...

Abstract

A dual-function dust cover (14) is provided for a fiber optic connector (12) having a mating end (20). The dust cover includes a securing portion (30,38) for facilitating securing the dust cover (14) to the fiber optic connector (12) to protecting at least a portion of the mating end (20) thereof. The dust cover also includes a pulling portion (40) for attachment thereto of a pulling device to facilitate pulling the connector (12) through an appropriate structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of optical fiber connector devices, in particular to a dual-function dust cover, which implements multiple functions of protecting the mating end of the optical fiber connector and providing a pull ring for the connector, Background technique [0002] A wide variety of fiber optic connector designs have been utilized to terminate fiber optic cables and facilitate connection of the cables to other fiber optic cables or other fiber optic communications equipment. A typical fiber optic connector includes a ferrule that fits within the connector and centers the optical fiber or fibers within the connector. The sleeve can be made of eg ceramic material. A ferrule holder or other housing element of the connector surrounds the ferrule and may be made of a material such as molded plastic. A spring may be positioned within the housing or ferrule holder so that the ferrule is flexibly biased forward for enga...
