MULTI-FIBRE OPTICAL CONNECTOR Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G02B6/38 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to fibre-optic data transmission systems. Proposed assembly of fibre-optic connector and cable includes a fibre-optic cable and fibre-optic connector, relative to which is attached first and second reinforcement elements. Said fibre-optic cable includes a protective cover, having a profile elongated in cross section, which forms a major axis and minor axis, wherein major and minor axes of protective cover, are generally perpendicular to each other, and also includes a plurality of optical fibres contained inside protective cover, wherein fibre-optic cable further includes first and second reinforcement elements, arranged on opposite sides of optical fibres. Said fibre-optic connector includes a connector housing, in which a multi-fibre ferrule is installed. Multi-fibre ferrule forms a major axis and a minor axis, wherein major and minor axes of multi-fibre ferrule are generally perpendicular to each other, wherein major axis of multi-fibre ferrule is generally perpendicular to major axis of protective cover, and minor axis of multi-fibre ferrule is generally perpendicular to minor axis of protective cover. Structure of connector housing and multi-fibre ferrule enables to install multi-fibre ferrule in connector housing with lateral side in direction parallel to major axis of ferrule.

EFFECT: technical result is creation of a multi-fibre connector, which can be easily used for jointing configurations and direct sealing.
