Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optical connector assembly having an adapter with a first and second end. Either end can accept a connector with a removable, detachable and replaceable coupling nut that when removed, connector outer diameter is substantially reduced, thereby allowing said connector to be inserted through a conduit having an inner diameter substantially less than outer diameter of separable coupling nut.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An optical fiber connector assembly comprising: a connector body with a first end and a second end; the first end configured. to receive a first fiber optic connector and the second end configured to receive a fiber optic cable; a replaceable coupling nut is placed about the connector body; and wherein the coupling nut is removed from the connector body thereby allowing the optic fiber connector assembly to he inserted through an opening of an inner diameter less than an outer diameter of the fiber optic connector body with the coupling nut.
