Definitions
- FIG. 5 is a front section view of the multi -fiber holder of FIG. 2, taken generally along the line 5-5 in FIG. 4, showing bare end faces of the individual optic fibers held in the multi-fiber holder;
- shutter 102 further includes two actuator tabs 170 on either end of the shutter.
- actuator tabs 170 When shutter 102 is in the closed position, actuator tabs 170 extend vertically and provide an actuator surface 172. In the embodiment shown, actuator tabs 170 do not extend beyond first boundary 106 when shutter 102 is in the closed position. In certain embodiments, actuator tabs 170 may extend slightly beyond first boundary 106 without departing from the principles of this disclosure, as long as there is sufficient clearance for the actuator tabs on an adjacent fiber holder 100.
- Fiber holder 100 includes actuator recesses 174, which provide space for the actuator tabs 170 to occupy when shutter 102 is in the open position.
- shutter has a first end 190 and a second end 192. In certain embodiments, when shutter 102 is in the open position, first end 192 may be closer to first boundary 106 than second end 192.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un système de connexion pour câbles à fibres optiques à nombre de fibres élevé comprenant des connecteurs qui présentent de multiples supports de fibres. Chaque support de fibres présente un élément obturateur individuel qui effectue une rotation entre une position fermée et une position ouverte pour protéger les extrémités exposées des fibres nues.
