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.

A cassette module assembly including a removable hinged latching frame. The removable hinged latching frame enabling the cassette module to be installed through a rear-side of a patch panel for providing an installer the flexibility to conduct rear-side work and installation as desired.

In accordance with the following description, an optical communication connector includes a ferrule having retractable alignment pins that are actuable between an extended position and a retracted position. For example, the connector may include an inner housing assembly having optical fibers and an outer housing positioned over the inner housing assembly. The outer housing is shaped to be removable from the inner housing assembly, which has a movable pin clamp mechanically coupled to alignment pins for aligning the connector with another connector. The pin clamp may be slid from a first position (corresponding to a male gender) to a second position (corresponding to a female gender). Separately or in combination with changing gender, the polarity of a communication connector may be changed due to its inclusion of an asymmetric polarity-changing feature that is actuable by an installer to change a polarity of the communication connector. Such a feature may actuated by being moved from a first position to a second position relative to the communication connector.
