The OTO-ID is the number of the fibre optic socket.

The receptacle further carries a fiber optic conductor.

An optical receptacle has a fiber stub where a single-mode optical fiber is fixed.

The fiber optic plug may also include a cap mounted upon and adapted to swivel relative to the remainder of the fiber optic plug to serve as a pulling grip during installation of the fiber optic cable.

A passive fiber optic tap for a single mode optical fiber (18) is disclosed which utilizes cladding modes induced within the fiber by a microbender (20).

A fiber optic interface assembly (570) that includes mated plug and receptacle fiber optic interface devices (20, 320) is also disclosed.

Each plug in which an optical fiber is inserted is attached to an adaptor in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the optical fiber, and the plug and adaptor are fixed.

The Jack (2) holds the optical fiber (22), and is provided with the lens (21).

A combination fiber optic (84) and electrical connector (30) and a plug (26) for mating therewith are both provided.

Plug and receptacle ferrules, and fiber optic plug and receptacle connectors that use the plug and receptacle ferrules are disclosed.

This force acts both to keep the teeth engaged in the jacket of the fibre, and to push the fibre F firmly against the optical element (53), so that the fibre F is held in the connector (50) in the engaged position.

An optical fiber sheet having an optical fiber sandwiched by at least two sheets bonded.

The inventive fibre is used as a reinforcing fibre in a product based on fibres and a hydraulically setting mass.

The housing (20) includes a first fiber optic connector receptacle (43), a second fiber optic connector receptacle (44), and a first side, and the housing (20) is made of an electrically conductive material.

The reference arm is comprised of a first section of polarization maintaining optical fiber engaged with a first fiber stretcher.
