Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012015713A1] Optical fiber ferrules (10, 20) with complementary mating geometry that are suitable for making optical connections are disclosed along with fiber optic connectors and cable assemblies using the same. In one embodiment, the fiber optic ferrule (10) includes a body (12) having a plurality of optical pathways (14) and a mating geometry that includes at least one slot (15) monolithically formed in the body of the fiber optic ferrule. The slot of the ferrule permits relatively high number of mating/unmating cycles without generating excessive wear and debris, thereby making it suitable for consumer electronic devices or the like. The disclosure is also directed to fiber optic connectors and cable assemblies using the ferrule.
