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 24):
A connectorized fiber optic cable assembly comprising:\n a connector housing comprising a ferrule retaining portion, an adapter seating portion, an adhesive injection port in the adapter seating portion of the connector housing, 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 retained by the ferrule retaining portion of the connector housing, the ferrule comprising an optical fiber bore; a cable adapter comprising\n an optical cable passageway, \n an optical fiber passageway, \n a housing insert portion structurally configured to be seated in the adapter seating portion of the connector housing to align the optical cable passageway and the optical fiber passageway with the longitudinal axis of the connector housing, \n an adhesive window in the housing insert portion in communication with the optical fiber passageway, and \n an adapter abutment structurally configured to limit an extent to which the cable adapter extends into the adapter seating portion of the connector housing; and \n a fiber optic cable extending along the optical cable passageway of the cable adapter, the fiber optic cable comprising an optical fiber extending along the optical fiber passageway of the cable adapter to the optical fiber bore of the ferrule, wherein 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, the cable adapter and the connector housing are structurally configured to form complementary keying surfaces that are positioned to align the adhesive injection port of the connector housing with the adhesive window of the cable adapter, and the optical fiber crosses the adhesive window of the cable adapter in a fiber potting portion of the optical fiber passageway of the cable adapter.
