Abstract:
Fiber optic connectors, connector housings, connectorized cable assemblies, and methods for the connectorization of cable assemblies are provided with particular cable adapter features, adapter extensions, multi-diametrical sealing flexures, subcutaneous sealing elements, and combinations thereof, for improved connector and cable performance, integrity, and durability.

Claim (Index 27):
A fiber optic connector comprising:\n a connector housing comprising a ferrule retaining portion, an adapter seating portion, and a longitudinal axis extending through the ferrule retaining portion of the connector housing and the adapter seating portion of the connector housing; a ferrule structurally configured to be retained by the ferrule retaining portion of the connector housing comprising an optical fiber bore; a cable adapter comprising an optical cable passageway, an optical fiber passageway, an extension securement portion, a housing insert portion structurally configured to be seated in the adapter seating portion of the connector housing, and an adapter abutment structurally configured to be positioned between the extension securement portion and the housing insert portion to limit an extent to which the cable adapter extends into the adapter seating portion of the connector housing; and an adapter extension integrated with, or structurally configured to be secured to, the extension securement portion of the cable adapter and comprising an extended cable passageway, wherein\n the adapter abutment and the connector housing are structurally configured to form an adapter sealing interface where the adapter abutment contacts an abutment facing surface of the connector housing, \n the adapter sealing interface forms a non-destructive flexural relief point along a length of the longitudinal axis, and \n the adapter sealing interface originates at a housing-to-adapter elbow comprising an exposed anchoring face oriented towards the ferrule retaining portion of the connector housing.
