Abstract:
An optical cable subassembly includes one or more optical waveguides, at least light coupling unit comprising a first attachment area permanently attached to the optical waveguides, and at least one cable retainer comprising a second attachment area permanently attached to the optical waveguides and adapted to be installed in a housing. A length of the optical waveguides between the first attachment area and the second attachment area allows a bend in the optical waveguides that provides a predetermined mating spring force at a predetermined angle of the light coupling unit when installed in the housing.

Claim (Index 36):
The subassembly of  claim 16 , wherein the light coupling unit comprises:\n a first section comprising a mating tongue having a mating tongue surface; a second section comprising:\n a first surface comprising the first attachment area configured for receiving and permanently attaching to the optical waveguides; and \n a second mating surface opposing the first surface and comprising a plurality of grooves, the grooves configured to capture particulate contaminants between the second mating surface and a mating tongue surface of a mating light coupling unit; \n a plurality of light redirecting members on the first surface optically coupled to the optical waveguides; and an optically transmitting window on the second mating surface between the grooves and the mating tongue, the optically transmitting window optically coupled to the light redirecting members.
