A protection sleeve assembly including at least two half sleeves are provided for protecting elongated objects, such as cables, from abrasion and environmental conditions. The protection sleeves are molded from a pliable material to include integrated latches and latch openings for mating two half sleeves together around the elongated object.

A fiber optic cable is provided that includes active tracing features that enable active tracing for the fibers included in the fiber optic cable. By including such tracing features to the fiber optic cable, the fiber tracing process is made more efficient and less prone to human errors.

A multi-section termination hybrid connector assembly is provided. The multi-section termination hybrid connector includes a multi-section termination design for improving strength and stability for the connection point of where a hybrid cable is being terminated with the hybrid connector.

A cable protection system is provided that includes mating features for enabling efficient and effective assembly around a cable to be protected. The mating features provide specified hold strengths and releasable features for enabling installers to release the mating features as desired at a later time.

A radial lever connector is disclosed that includes a plurality of lever connectors centered around a central bus bridge conductor. Each of the lever connectors includes a corresponding wire channel for inserting a wire conductor, where the wire channels lead towards the central bus bridge conductor, so that all wire conductors that are inserted into their respective wire channel may be electrically coupled to each other via connection with the central bus bridge conductor.

A hybrid fiber and electrical connector is provided that includes signal transmission components for providing a compact form, while also providing effective signal transmission is disclosed. When the hybrid connector includes a pigtail, a termination tube is further included for covering an protecting fusion joints between the pigtail and a hybrid cable.

A patch cord comprising a multi-mode fiber (MMF) having an MMF core diameter, and a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) having a hollow core having a mode field diameter (MFD) that is smaller than the MMF core diameter. The MMF and the PCF are spliced together, and the MMF and the PCF have been actively aligned to maximize the overlap integral of a fundamental mode of the MMF while minimizing the power in other modes.

An optical cable comprising a plurality of multi-fiber connectors or adapters wherein the connectors or adapters are configured to connect to network equipment in a data communications network and wherein the optical cable is configured to map near end to far end multi-fiber ports following specific network topologies whereby fiber groups are rearranged in a transition zone of the optical cable such that each of all fibers within one subjacketed group at the near end is routed to multiple independent subjacketed groups at the far end, such that a light path of connected transmitters and receivers are matched to provide optical connections from transmitting fibers to receiving fibers.

A cable guide clamp that secures cables. The cable guide clamp includes a main body and a clamping pad. The main body has a top, a bottom, a first end, a second end, and sides. The main body has a cylindrical opening that leads to a first passageway extending from the first end to the second end, and a rectangular opening that leads to a second passageway extending from the first end to the second end. A clamping pad is installed in the main body. A threaded bolt and nut are installed in the main body to securing the clamping pad and cable positioned within the main body.

A structured cabling system has a plurality of leaf switch ports; a plurality of server node ports; and a plurality of patch cords, trunk cables, and patching components configured to follow a coherent color and labeling scheme to implement optical communication network topologies. Each port of the plurality of server node ports is grouped and assigned to a color depending on a node order or location on the rack such that the trail observed at a patch panel for the plurality of leaf switch ports follows a uniform vertical color pattern. The vertical pattern matching a desired logical network topology with the vertical pattern being easy to observe so a risk of misplacing during the installation is be reduced.
