Application: Data center interconnect for optical trunk cables having miniature multi-fiber ferrules (Patent ID: US20230350136A1)
The patent filed by Corning Inc. describes an optical interconnect assembly that includes a pre-terminated trunk cable assembly with a cable bundle of optical fiber trunk cables terminating in ribbonized groups of optical fiber. The assembly also includes terminated small form factor fiber optic connectors with specific components such as push-pull sticks, ferrule pushes, miniature multi-fiber ferrules, and dust caps. These components are housed inside a pulling sock, with multiple identical small form factor fiber optic connectors included. The design aims to provide a compact and efficient optical interconnect solution.
The patent further details various claims related to the cable bundle and optical interconnect assembly, including the configuration of the small form factor fiber optic connectors, the presence of adapter panels, and specific features of the ferrule push, dust cap, and push-pull stick. The use of miniature multi-fiber ferrules, non-circular openings in the ferrule push, and the engagement of dust caps are highlighted as key aspects of the design. Additionally, the presence of a boot with side latches surrounding the ferrule push is described, along with the purpose of the pulling sock in retaining the components. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive optical cable bundle design that focuses on enhancing connectivity and ease of use in optical interconnect applications.
