MULTI-FIBER FIBER OPTIC CONNECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027695 titled 'MULTI-FIBER FIBER OPTIC CONNECTOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a fiber optic cable assembly that consists of a fiber optic cable and a fiber optic connector. The cable has a jacket with a specific shape, and the strength components of the cable are attached to the connector. The connector includes a ferrule with a perpendicular axis to the jacket's major axis and a perpendicular axis to the jacket's minor axis. Certain types of connectors have a side opening, a ferrule for lateral insertion, and a cover to mount over the side opening.
- The fiber optic cable assembly includes a cable with a specific jacket shape and a connector with a ferrule.

Original Abstract Submitted
a fiber optic cable assembly includes a fiber optic cable and a fiber optic connector. the cable includes a jacket having an elongated transverse cross-sectional profile that defines a major axis and a minor axis. strength components of the cable are anchored to the connector. the fiber optic connector includes a ferrule defining a major axis that is generally perpendicular to the major axis of the jacket and a minor axis that is generally perpendicular to the minor axis of the jacket. certain types of connectors include a connector body defining a side opening that extends along a length of the connector body; a ferrule configured for lateral insertion into the connector body through the side opening; and a cover that mounts over the side opening after the ferrule has been inserted into the connector body through the side opening.
