Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a positioning means for a fiber optic connector assembly, a fiber optic connector assembly and a fiber termination unit comprising the positioning means through which manufacturing tolerances can be absorbed to provide an improved optical interconnection with a high signal transmission rate. The positioning means ( 1 ) comprises a receiving means ( 5 ) for receiving one of a jack assembly or plug assembly ( 2 ) and a stationary support ( 6 ) supporting said receiving means ( 5 ), wherein the receiving means ( 5 ) is displaceable to a certain extent relative to the stationary support ( 6 ) at least along one direction other than a connection direction for optically interconnecting the optical fibers allowing an alignment of the receivable jack or plug assembly ( 2 ) along the direction transversal to the connection direction. A spring loaded element ( 8 ) resiliently urges said receiving means ( 5 ) away from the support ( 6 ) in one embodiment.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A positioning means for a fibre optic connector assembly which comprises a plug assembly receiving a plug ferrule and a jack assembly receiving a jack ferrule connectable to the plug ferrule such that said plug ferrule and said jack ferrule are positionable coaxially with respect to each other for optically interconnecting optical fibers supported by said plug ferrule and said jack ferrule; the positioning means comprises a receiving means having an ope…
