TLDR
An optical fiber connector plug comprises a connecting portion including a rear entry at a first end and a first fiber stub exit opening to a second fiber stub channel as mentioned in this paper, where a bend relief boot encloses the connecting portion at one end while a shroud releasably engages it at the other end.Abstract:
An optical fiber connector plug comprises a connecting portion including a rear entry at a first end and a first fiber stub exit opening to a first fiber stub channel. The first fiber stub exit is parallel to a second fiber stub exit opening to a second fiber stub channel. The first and second fiber stub exits are formed opposite the first end of the connecting portion. An optical fiber connector plug also includes a holder that fits into the rear entry of the connecting portion for permanent retention of at least one stripped, cleaved and polished optical fiber. First and second crimp elements, in the connecting portion, each have an open-ended bore coaxial with the fiber stub channels. Each crimp element contains an optical fiber stub. A molded top attached to the connecting portion includes an opening containing a compression element that forms splices by capturing a stripped, cleaved and polished end portion of an optical fiber and an optical fiber stub in each crimp element. A bend relief boot encloses the connecting portion at one end, while a shroud releasably engages it at the other end.read more
