OPTICAL CONNECTOR FERRULE AND OPTICAL CONNECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17966479 titled 'OPTICAL CONNECTOR FERRULE AND OPTICAL CONNECTOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an example optical connector ferrule and optical connector. The first ferrule is designed to be compatible with a second ferrule and includes n optical channels, where n is greater than m. The first-type optical channels are arranged in the same manner as the m optical channels of the second ferrule, and the second-type optical channels are located in the same rows as the first-type optical channels.
- The patent application describes an optical connector ferrule and connector design.
- The first ferrule is compatible with a second ferrule and has more optical channels.
- The first-type optical channels are arranged in the same manner as the second ferrule's channels.
- The second-type optical channels are located in the same rows as the first-type channels.
Potential Applications
- Optical communication systems
- Fiber optic networks
- Data centers
- Telecommunications industry
Problems Solved
- Compatibility between different ferrules
- Increasing the number of optical channels in a connector
- Efficient arrangement of optical channels
Benefits
- Improved connectivity in optical systems
- Higher capacity for data transmission
- Simplified design and compatibility with existing connectors
Original Abstract Submitted
Example optical connector ferrules and example optical connectors are provided. An example optical connector ferrule is a first ferrule of an optical connector, where the first ferrule includes n optical channels, and the first ferrule is configured to be compatible with a second ferrule. The second ferrule includes m optical channels, where both m and n are positive integers, and n is greater than m. The n optical channels of the first ferrule include first-type optical channels and second-type optical channels, where an arrangement manner of the first-type optical channels is the same as that of the m optical channels of the second ferrule, and at least one of the second-type optical channels is located in at least one of rows in which the first-type optical channels are located.
