A REDUCING FIBRE OPTIC CABLE TUBE CONNECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053566 titled 'A REDUCING FIBRE OPTIC CABLE TUBE CONNECTOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a reducing fibre optic cable tube connector with a plastic body that has connectors at either end for connection to respective tubes. The body has a wide portion ending in a wide end and a narrow portion ending in a narrow end to accommodate tubes of different diameters. The two portions meet at a central region of the body, with each portion including an annular inner sleeve that extends from the central region and is spaced from the inner wall of the outer body to create an air gap. At the central region, the annular sleeves extend towards each other, resulting in the first and second air gaps being axially spaced by less than 1 mm.
- Plastic body with connectors at either end for connecting to tubes
- Wide and narrow portions to accommodate tubes of different diameters
- Annular inner sleeves create air gaps to improve performance
- Central region where annular sleeves meet, with air gaps spaced by less than 1 mm
Potential Applications
- Telecommunications industry for connecting fibre optic cables
- Data centers for network infrastructure
- Industrial automation for sensor connections
Problems Solved
- Accommodating tubes of different diameters
- Ensuring proper connection and performance of fibre optic cables
- Simplifying the process of connecting fibre optic cables
Benefits
- Versatile connector for tubes of different sizes
- Improved performance with air gaps
- Easy to use and reliable for fibre optic connections
Original Abstract Submitted
a reducing fibre optic cable tube connector with a plastic body having a connector at either end for connection to a respective tube. the body has a wide portion terminating at a wide end and a narrow portion terminating at a narrow end to receive tubes of a different diameters. the two portions meet at a central region of the body. each portion includes an annular inner sleeve extending from the central region and spaced from an inner wall of the outer body to define an air gap. at the central region the annular sleeves extend toward one another so the first and second air gaps are axially spaced by less than 1 mm.
