Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a field installable connector system. The connector system includes a factory terminated subassembly including a ferrule terminating an optical fiber of an optical fiber cable. The factory terminated subassembly has a small transverse cross-section to facilitate routing through a duct. The connector system also includes a field installable subassembly including various connector components that can be installed after the factory terminated subassembly has been routed through a duct. The components can be sealed and hardened.

Claim (Index 10):
A field installable connector system comprising:\n a first subassembly including a fiber optic cable including an optical fiber terminated at a ferrule; and a second subassembly including:\n a hardened coupling element including a front end and a rear end, the hardened coupling element including a twist-to-lock coupling interface near the front end, the hardened coupling element defining a through passage; \n a seal element mounted on the hardened coupling element closer to the front end than the rear end; \n an elastomeric sealing sleeve mounted over the rear end of the hardened coupling element; and \n a removable seal expansion tube positioned within the elastomeric sealing sleeve for holding the elastomeric sealing sleeve open, wherein the first sub assembly is inserted through the elastomeric sealing sleeve and into the through passage of the hardened coupling element by inserting the first subassembly through the removeable seal expansion tube.
