The optical channel can have two optical lenses designed to facilitate the transmission of an optical signal. The collimators can be integrated with optical fibers and precisely positioned at a focal point of the two optical lenses. Reflective screens, films or tapes encircle both transmitting and receiving lenses. Cameras at each transmitting and receiving terminal are positioned to monitor the optical signal's impact on a lens surface or a high-reflective screen on the opposite side. The cameras use at least one lens to get focused image on a camera sensor and records the optical beam spot impacting the opposite side. Corresponding LED(s) aligned with the lens position on the opposite side allow the computation of the disparity between the optical signal and the lens positioned on the opposite side.

Abstract

A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.

For example, the connector may include an inner housing assembly having optical fibers and an outer housing positioned over the inner housing assembly. The outer housing is shaped to be removable from the inner housing assembly, which has a movable pin clamp mechanically coupled to alignment pins for aligning the connector with another connector. The pin clamp may be slid from a first position (corresponding to a male gender) to a second position (corresponding to a female gender). Separately or in combination with changing gender, the polarity of a communication connector may be changed due to its inclusion of an asymmetric polarity-changing feature that is actuable by an installer to change a polarity of the communication connector. Such a feature may be actuated by being moved from a first position to a second position relative to the communication connector.

Abstract

In accordance with the following description, an optical communication connector includes a ferrule having retractable alignment pins that are actuable between an extended position and a retracted position. For example, the connector may include an inner housing assembly having optical fibers and an outer housing positioned over the inner housing assembly. The outer housing is shaped to be removable from the inner housing assembly, which has a movable pin clamp mechanically coupled to alignment pins for aligning the connector with another connector. The pin clamp may be slid from a first position (corresponding to a male gender) to a second position (corresponding to a female gender). Separately or in combination with changing gender, the polarity of a communication connector may be changed due to its inclusion of an asymmetric polarity-changing feature that is actuable by an installer to change a polarity of the communication connector. Such a feature may actuated by being moved from a first position to a second position relative to the communication connector.

Abstract

A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.

Abstract

A low latency free-space optical data communication channel has at least one optical collimator for transmitting an optical communication signal in the form of a parallel beam across a free-space channel. The input of the collimator includes a connectorized optical fiber pigtail for connecting said collimator to a glass optical fiber carrying the signal to be transmitted across the free-space channel. The optical beam propagates in free space along the longitudinal axis of a raceway, which is at least partially enclosed. The second optical collimator located at the distant end of said raceway, is positioned to receive the free-space optical communication signal. The received signal is focused into a second optical fiber pigtail at the output side of the collimator, thereby resulting in a pigtailed free-space low latency optical channel link.
