The rear end portion of the connector body is provided with one or more annular crimp receiving grooves. A ferrule member 14 is positionable over the grooved rear end portion of the connector body for crimping the strength member 20 between the ferrule member and the connector body. The ferrule member is crimped to have one or more crimping ribs 34 which are nested in the grooves of the connector body clamping the strength member therebetween. The included grooves of the connector body are smaller than the ribs of the ferrule member so as to increase the number of crimping areas between the connector body and the ferrule member. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Crimped connector assembly for fiber optic cables or the like
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to fiber optics and, more particularly, to a fiber optic connector assembly for a fiber optic cable having one or more single optical fibers therein.
Background of the prior art
Fiber optic cables generally include one or more single optical fibers and are generally fragile in nature in contrast to electrical cables. Crimping has been widely accepted as one method of terminating an electrical cable to a contact or to a connector assembly because of the reliability of this type of termination as well as the inexpensive nature of the crimping operation itself. For these reasons, it is highly desirable to provide for crimping of fiber optic cables for termination to contacts or connector assemblies. The difference, with regards to crimping, between fiber optic cables and electrical cables is that in an electrical cable the contact or the connector assembly is directly crimped to the conductor itself.In a fiber optic cable, the crimping is done to one or more strength members which usually surround the optical fibers on the inside or outside of a jacket of the cable. This requires the addition of a separate component, namely a crimping ferrule, for crimping the strength member between the ferrule and a body member of the contact or connector assembly so that the one or more single optical fibers of the fiber optic cable are not over-stressed or damaged during termination or during handling of the fiber optic cable after it has been assembled to the connector. This invention provides an improved crimping means in the form of a connector assembly which increases the crimping diameters between the ferrule member and the connector body while also accommodating the additional thickness or the ferrule member permitting sealing and enhancing field termination.
Brief summary of the invention
Accordingly, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved connector assembly for one or more single optical fibers of a fiber optic cable or the like which has one or more strength members therein.
Another object of the invention is to provide a new and improved connector assembly for fixing the
relationship between the strength members of a fiber optic cable and the fiber optic contacts termin
ated to the fibers thereof so that the terminated fibers can be readily assembled to the connector assembly without over-stressing the fibers.
A further object of the invention is to provide a
connector assembly of the character described which increases the number of crimping diameters
between the connector body of the connector
assembly and the ferrule member without increas
ing the dimensions thereof.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a connector assembly of the character described which accommodates the additional thickness of the ferrule member to provide a uniformly dimensioned assembly for field termination.
In the embodiment of the invention disclosed herein, a connector assembly is disclosed for one or
more single optical fibers of a fiber optic cable or the
like which has a strength member therein. A connector body is provided for receiving the one or more single optical fibers of the fiber optic cable. The connector body has a rear end portion over which the strength member of the fiber optic cable is
positionable. The rear end portion of the connector
body is provided with one or more annular crimp receiving, generally V-shaped grooves which have annular edges about the peripheries of the grooves.
Aferrule member is positionable over the grooved rear end portion of the connector body for crimping the strength member between the ferrule member and the grooved rear end portion of the connector body. The ferrule member is crimped to have one or more generally V-shaped crimping ribs nested in the grooves of the connector body. The included angle of each of the V-shaped grooves is smaller than that of the V-shaped ribs of the ferrule member so as to increase or double the number of crimping diameters between the connector body and the ferrule member, namely along the edges of the grooves.
The connector body has a larger diameter portion adjacent a smaller diameter rear end portion, the latter being provided with the generally V-shaped grooves. The outside diameter of the ferrule member is substantially the same as that of the larger diameter portion of the connector body so as to be generally flush therewith.
In one form of the invention, the fiber optic cable has an inner jacket surrounding the one or more single optical fibers, with the strength member surrounding the inner jacket and extending beyond the jacket. The rear end portion of the connector body has a transverse abutment surface for engaging the end of the jacket providing an interface between the cable and the connector body. The ferrule member has a second crimping portion for crimping onto the outside of the strength member rearwardly of the interface between the inner jacket and the connector body. The cable has a second or outer jacket surrounding the strength member, and the rear end of the ferrule member is provided with a transverse abutment surface for engaging the end of the outer jacket of the cable providing a second interface between the cable and the connector assembly.
In another embodiment of the invention, the fiber optic cable has a jacket surrounding both the strength member and the one or more single optical fibers of the fiber optic cable, and the ferrule member has a second crimping portion for crimping onto the outside of the jacket of the cable.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Detailed description of the invention
Referring to the drawings in greater detail, a connector assembly in accordance with the present invention is generally designated 10 and is provided for use with a fiber optic cable or the like which has one or more single optical fibers and a strength member, as described in greater detail hereinafter.
The connector assembly of the present invention is designed for crimping the strength member of the fiber optic cable so as to concentrate any stresses on the cable to the strength member rather than the fragile optical fibers during termination of the fibers or during assembly and field handling of the cable.
More particularly, the connector assembly 10 of the present invention includes a connector body, generally designated 12, for receiving one or more single optical fibers of the fiber optic cable (described in greater detail hereinafter), and a ferrule member, generally designated 14.
Referring specifically to Figure 2, the fiber optic cable shown therein includes a fiber bundle 16 formed of a plurality of single optical fibers. The fiber bundle 16 is surrounded by an inner jacket 18, and the inner jacket 18 is surrounded by a strength member 20 which extends beyond the end of the inner jacket. The cable further includes an outer jacket 22 which surrounds the strength member 20, but the cable is cut so that the strength member 20 as well as the inner jacket 18 extend beyond the outer jacket 22, as shown.
The connector body 12 shown in Figure 2 includes a larger diameter portion 24 and a smaller diameter rear end portion 26 over which the strength member 20 of the fiber optic cable is positioned. The rear end portion 26 of the connector body 12 further is provided with a plurality of annular crimp receiving, generally V-shaped peripheral grooves 28. The rear end portion 26 of the connector body 12 further is provided with a transverse abutment surface 30 for engaging the end 32 of the inner jacket 18 of the cable providing an interface between the cable and the connector body when the cable is terminated thereto.
The ferrule member 14 of the connector assembly 10 shown in Figure 2 has a first crimping portion which is defined by a plurality of generally V-shaped crimping ribs 34 which are alignable with the grooves 28 of the connector body 12. The strength member 20 of the fiber optic cable is crimped or clamped between the connector body 12 and the ferrule member 14 in the area of the grooves 28 and the ribs 34 of the body and ferrule, respectively. The ferrule member 14 further includes a second crimping portion defined by a plurality of ribs 36 formed on the ferrule member rearwardly of the crimping ribs 34 and separated therefrom by a straight intermediate portion 38 of the ferrule member.The ribs 36 of the ferrule member 14 are provided for crimping onto the outside of the strength member 20 of the fiber optic cable rearwardly of the interface as at 30, 32 between the connector body 12 and the inner jacket 18 of the cable.
The outside diameter of the ferrule member 14 is the same as that of the larger diameter portion 24 of the connector body 12 so as to avoid any irregularities and facilitate use of the connector assembly with standard rear release insertion/withdrawal field operation tools. Furthermore, the outside diameter of the ferrule member 14 adjacent the outer jacket 22 of the fiber optic cable preferably is the same as the outside diameter of the cable so as to avoid any irregularities at the juncture of the outer jacket 22 and the ferrule member 14.
Referring to Figure 4, an enlarged, somewhat schematic sectional view is presented which is taken through a single crimp receiving groove 28 of the rear end portion 26 of the connector body 12. The groove 28 is shown aligned with a single rib 34 of the ferrule member 14 with the strength member 20 of the fiber optic cable removed to facilitate the illustration. In accordance with the present invention, the included angle of each of the grooves 28 is smaller than that of the corresponding rib 34 so as to increase the number of crimping diameters between the connector body 12 and the ferrule member 14.
More specifically, by so dimensioning the grooves 28 and the ribs 34, the crimping areas of contact between the connector body 12 and the ferrule member 14 is along the edges of the grooves 28, as at 40 in Figure 4, so that this dimensioning is effective to double the crimping diameters between the connector body and the ferrule member. Not only are the crimping diameters increased, but slippage of the strength member 20 is practically eliminated. It further should be pointed out that although the crimp receiving grooves 28 of the connector body 12 and the crimping ribs 34 of the ferrule member 14 are described at various times herein as being generally V-shaped, such descriptions in the specification and claims hereof are intended to include any such concave grooves and convex ribs which are so dimensioned as to provide the multiple areas of crimping contacts or diameters along the edges of the grooves, as facilitated by the dimensioning described above. The use of the term "V-shaped" in the specification and claims herein is to facilitate the illustration but in no way to limit the description and claims.
Referring to Figure 5, a crimping die, generally connector body 12 is provided with an annular, generally rectangular rib 48 (Figures 2 and 3) which is positionable within a complementary generally rectangularly shaped groove 50 of the die set to facilitate positioning of the connector body within the die. Each of the dies 44 and 46 is provided with an interior cavity, generally designated 52, which is
provided with grooves and ribs so as to form the crimping ribs 34 and 36 of the ferrule member 14 during a crimping operation to terminate the fiber optic cable to the connector assembly 10. The ferrule member, prior to positioning into the crimping die, is tubular in the area of the crimping ribs 34 and 36, and the ribs are formed or crimped into the grooves 28 of the connector body during crimping operation of the die 42.
Referring to Figure 3, the fiber optic cable shown therein includes a single optical fiber 54 surrounded
by an inner jacket 56 which is surrounded buy a strength member 58 which, in turn, is surrounded by an outer jacket 60. Like numerals are applied to the connector body 12 and the ferrule member 14 in
Figure 3 which correspond to similar components thereof as described in relation to Figures 2 and 4.
However, the connector body shown in Figure 3 has a smaller diameter bore portion 62 for receiving a single optical fiber 54 and a larger diameter bore portion 64 for receiving the inner jacket 56 of the fiber optic cable.
The connector body 12 shown in Figure 3 does not include the transverse abutment surface 30 as described in relation to the connector body shown in
Figure 2. As with the fiber optic cable shown in
Figure 2, the strength member 58 of the cable shown in Figure 3 is positioned over the rear end 26 of the connector body 12 overlying the crimping grooves 28 formed therein. The ribs 34 of the ferrule member 14 are crimped so as to be nested in the grooves 28 and are dimensioned as described above in relation to Figure 4.
With the fiber optic cable shown in Figure 3, the strength member 28 flares radially outwardly adjacent the end of the outer jacket 60 of the cable and protrudes forwardly therefrom so as to be sandwiched between the rear end portion 26 of the connector body 12 and the ferrule member 14 and is crimped therebetween. The larger diameter portion 24 of the connector body 12 and the adjacent outside diameter of the ferrule member 14 are generally the same so as to avoid any irregularities as described
above. The ferrule member 14 is crimped to the outside of the outer jacket 60 of the cable by the crimping ribs 36 rearwardly of the connector body
12. Preferably, the extreme rear or inner end of the ferrule member 14 is crimped as at 68, so as to bear
inwardly in gripping or biting engagement against the outside of the fiber optic cable.
While in the foregoing specification a detailed
description of the invention has been set forth for
purposes of illustration, variations of the details
herein given may be made by those skilled in the art
without departing from the spirit and scope of the
invention as set forth in the appended claims.
