Abstract:
A connector assembly that includes an outer shell and a first communication connector. The first communication connector and/or the outer shell is/are movable about one or more degrees of freedom. The first communication connector is configured to form a first electrical or optical connection with an external communication connector. Optionally, the connector assembly includes a second communication connector. The first communication connector may be connected to a cable or the optional second communication connector by a flexible substrate positioned inside the outer shell. The first communication connector may be implemented as a fiber optic connector optically connected to either a fiber optic cable or the second communication connector, which may also be implemented as a fiber optic connector.

Claim (Index 1):
A connector assembly comprising:\n a ball-shaped housing; a first communication connector movably connected to the ball-shaped housing; a second communication connector movably connected to the ball-shaped housing, the second communication connector being movable with respect to the first communication connector, the first communication connector being movable with respect to the second communication connector; and a flexible substrate positioned inside the ball-shaped housing and connecting the first communication connector to the second communication connector, the flexible substrate being configured to be coiled into one or more coils, the one or more coils at least one of tightening and loosening to maintain a connection between the first and second communication connectors as at least one of the first and second communication connectors is moved.
