Claim 0:
1. A protected cable connector assembly comprising:
a cable gland body, wherein the cable gland body is a hollow cylindrical body, wherein the cable gland body comprises a first threaded portion, a second threaded portion and an unthreaded portion, wherein the first threaded portion corresponds to external threads over periphery of a first substantially cylindrical cross section of the cable gland body, wherein the second threaded portion is at a second end of the first substantially cylindrical cross section of the cable gland body, wherein the second threaded portion corresponds to external threads over periphery of the first substantially cylindrical cross section of the cable gland body, wherein the unthreaded portion of the cable gland body corresponds to central non-threaded portion between the first threaded portion and the second threaded portion;
a gland nut, wherein the gland nut is a hollow cylindrical body, the gland nut comprises internal threads, wherein the internal threads of the gland nut engage with threads of the first threaded portion of the cable gland body, wherein the gland nut is characterized by a total length, wherein the total length of the gland nut is 17.87 millimeters;
a grommet, wherein the grommet is positioned partially inside the cable gland body, wherein the grommet facilitates the protected cable connector assembly to hold an optical fibre cable firmly, wherein the grommet is positioned partially inside the first end of the cable gland body, wherein the grommet seals the first end of the cable gland body as the gland nut is fastened on the first threaded portion of the cable gland body, wherein the grommet has a cylindrical shape with a hollow circular cavity;
the protected connector, wherein the protected connector is affixed at a first open end of the optical fibre cable, wherein the protected cable connector enables the optical fibre cable to terminate into an optical fibre distribution box, the protected connector is affixed to a first end of the optical fibre cable;
the optical fibre cable, wherein the optical fibre cable comprising the first open end, wherein the first open end of the optical fibre cable is terminated into the fibre distribution box, wherein the protected connector is affixed at the first open end of the optical fibre cable, wherein the protected connector aligns the optical fibre cable (110) with optical transmission element of the fibre distribution box; and
a protective grip, wherein the protective grip is a robust outer covering of the protected cable connector assembly, wherein the protective grip prevents components of the protected cable connector assembly from slipping down the optical fibre cable,
wherein the protected cable connector assembly ensures proper alignment of the optical fibre cable to minimize optical loses, wherein the protected cable connector assembly ensures efficient axial alignment of optical fibres of the optical fibre cable, wherein the protected cable connector assembly is characterized by a diameter, wherein the diameter of the protected cable connector assembly is 20.4 millimeters, wherein the protected cable connector assembly enables improvement in a plurality of characteristics of the protected connector, wherein the plurality of properties of the protected connector comprises mechanical characteristics, optical characteristics and physical characteristics.
