ABSTRACT:
Providing a simplified universal connector body. The new design providing significant more protection for the precision tip, and fiber optic cable than the previous design by completely enclosing all parts in a housing closed by a door, which can be removed for inspection. The sturdy crimp approach is retained allowing the design to survive significant abuse. Providing an improved ST outer housing. The new design eliminates the intricated jaw-hold-out in favor of a normally closed jaw that opens upon insertion onto the ST coupling. The jaw clamps is replaced by a jaw release. The new design is simpler and significantly more durable. Providing a new outer housing which enable the universal connector body to mate with the JR-type connector. This new design allows a one for one replacement of RJ-type copper connections with fiber optic connections on patch panels and electronic equipment.
