MUMBAI, India, July 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517060313 A) filed by PPC Broadband, Inc., Syracuse, U.S.A., on June 24, for 'field installable hardened fiber optic connector with improved sealing and toolless installation.'
Inventor(s) include Neville, Abilash; Jayachandran, Navaneeth; and Montena, Noah.
The application for the patent was published on July 4, under issue no. 27/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A seal assembly for a field installable hardened fiber optic connector that may be configured to provide improved sealing and strain relief with a fiber optic cable includes: a pusher portion configured to transfer movement of a tightening portion; and a sealing portion configured to receive the transferred movement of the pusher portion. An engagement of the pusher portion with a shroud portion may limit rotation of the pusher portion relative to the shroud portion. The sealing portion may be configured to compress to form a seal around the fiber optic cable. Tightening of a tightening portion may compress the sealing portion onto a fiber optic cable to form a seal around the fiber optic cable and resist axial movement of the fiber optic cable relative to the sealing portion so as to provide enhanced weathertight sealing and strain relief between a shroud and the fiber optic cable."
The patent application was internationally filed on Dec. 08, 2023, under International application No.PCT/US2023/083195.
