20080247710 | Optical Connector and Optical Fiber Connecting System - An angle type optical connector enables a splicing operation of an optical fiber cable accurately and stably without requiring skilled labor and having a superior on-site installation property. An optical connector is provided with a splicing section for securely supporting an incorporated optical fiber securely supported at a ferrule and an optical fiber of an outside optical fiber cable in an end-abutting condition. The body of the optical connector is provided with a cable holding member able to hold an optical fiber cable. The cable holding member can be set at a temporary position where it makes an optical fiber of the optical fiber cable abut against the incorporated optical fiber at the splicing section in the state holding the optical fiber cable and bends a covered optical fiber of the optical fiber cable between the splicing section and the cable holding member by a pressing force in the lengthwise direction. | 10-09-2008 |

20080310797 | Method of Assembling an Optical Connector and an Optical Connector - An optical connector and a method of assembling an optical connector that is capable of avoiding generation of unnecessary tension in the optical fiber cable in which plain fiber portions are optically connected to each other using a splice assembly. The optical connector comprises a connector housing having splice means configured to abut a stripped and cleaved end surface of a plain fiber of an optical fiber cable ( | 12-18-2008 |

20100215323 | METHOD OF ASSEMBLING AN OPTICAL CONNECTOR AND AN OPTICAL CONNECTOR - An optical connector and a method of assembling an optical connector that is capable of avoiding generation of unnecessary tension in the optical fiber cable in which plain fiber portions are optically connected to each other using a splice assembly. The optical connector comprises a connector housing having splice means configured to abut a stripped and cleaved end surface of a plain fiber of an optical fiber cable onto an end of a fiber stub predisposed in the splice means to form an optical connection; and a cable fixing assembly, that includes a cable fixing member and a cable holder, for fixing an outer covering of the optical fiber cable introduced into said connector housing. The cable fixing member, which includes an opposing piece for slidably engaging with a guide section formed on the wall of an end cap of the connector housing, is pressed in from the direction perpendicular to the axis of the optical fiber cable and is mounted on the wall of the end cap. A step section is formed on the sliding surface of the opposing piece to be in sliding contact with the sliding surface of the guide section, for moving the cable fixing member together with the optical fiber cable so as to reduce a distance between the splice means and the cable holder. | 08-26-2010 |

20080292246 | OPTICAL CONNECTOR, OPTICAL FIBER WITH CONNECTOR, OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTING DEVICE, AND OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTION METHOD - A plug-type optical connector is provided with a ferrule and an aligning sleeve member. The aligning sleeve member receives a portion of the ferrule including an abutting end face inside a bore to prevent staining and damage and uses a movable shutter to prevent light emitted through the ferrule from leaking to the outside. The socket type optical connector is provided with a ferrule and a holding section. The optical connector is not provided with an aligning sleeve member and further can hold a coated optical fiber by a holding section behind the ferrule by a radius of curvature of at least a prescribed minimum radius of curvature. Optical loss in the coated optical fiber can be reduced while effectively reducing the external dimensions in the direction of extension of the ferrule at the time of use. An optical fiber connecting device that includes a combination of a pair of optical connectors is also provided to be suitably applied to an optical transmission line laid indoors. | 11-27-2008 |

20110312249 | OPTICAL FIBER POLISHING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A hand-held polishing apparatus is provided for polishing an optical fiber connector. The optical fiber connector mounted on the end of an optical fiber includes a connector housing and a ferrule. The polishing apparatus includes a connector mount to receive and hold the optical connector to position the end face of the ferrule adjacent to a polishing media. The polishing apparatus includes a housing having an upper portion and a base portion, a drive assembly and a lubricant dispensing system. The drive assembly controls orbital movement of the optical connector and linear movement of the polishing media through the polishing device, and the lubricant dispensing system supplies a lubricant from an internal reservoir disposed with in the housing to the polishing media near the end face of the ferrule of the optical connector. | 12-22-2011 |
