Abstract:
A fiber optic ferrule has an entrance surface that is angled at an angle that other than perpendicular to the optical fiber axis. The optical fibers disposed within the fiber optic ferrule are preferably separated from the entrance surface. These features reduce the amount of reflection of the light back into the optical fiber and increase the performance of the fiber optic ferrule.

Claim (Index 17):
A fiber optic ferrule comprising:\n a main body having a front end, a back end, and a middle portion disposed between the front end and back end; a first opening through the back end of the main body, the first opening configured to receive at least two optical fibers through the back end of the main body; a plurality of optical fiber openings disposed in the middle portion and in communication with and extending from the first opening toward the front end, each of the plurality of optical fiber openings configured to receive an optical fiber inserted through the back end and having a longitudinal axis; a second opening disposed between the middle portion and the front end, the second opening extending through a surface of the main body and being in communication with the plurality of optical fiber openings; and an entrance surface forming a portion of the second opening, the entrance surface being non-perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the plurality of optical fiber openings.
