Abstract:
A fiber optic cable assembly includes a fiber optic cable and a fiber optic connector. The cable includes a jacket having an elongated transverse cross-sectional profile that defines a major axis and a minor axis. Strength components of the cable are anchored to the connector. The fiber optic connector includes a multi-fiber ferrule defining a major axis that is generally perpendicular to the major axis of the jacket and a minor axis that is generally perpendicular to the minor axis of the jacket. Certain types of connectors include a connector body defining a side opening that extends along a length of the connector body; a multi-fiber ferrule configured for lateral insertion into the connector body through the side opening; and a cover that mounts over the side opening after the multi-fiber ferrule has been inserted into the connector body through the side opening.

Claim (Index 1):
A fiber optic ruggedized connector and cable assembly comprising:\n a connector body having a length that extends along an axis of the connector body, the connector body defining a side opening that extends along the length of the connector body; a ferrule positioned at least partially within the connector body, the ferrule supporting at least one optical fiber of a fiber optic cable, and the ferrule being configured to mount into the connector body through the side opening; and a fastener that mounts over the connector body, the fastener configured to rotate at least partially relative to the connector body, the fastener being configured to couple the fiber optic ruggedized connector to a ruggedized fiber optic adapter or another fiber optic ruggedized connector; the connector body receiving and retaining at least one strength member of the fiber optic cable.
