Abstract:
Optical fiber connectors and adapters are disclosed. A connector assembly includes a sleeve seal positioned near a proximal end of the connector, the seal fits over an alignment sleeve contained within an adapter. The connector may include a heat shrinkable tubing covering a distal end of the connector to prevent ingress of moisture and debris. The sleeve seal is compressed by a proximal face of a connector plug frame. The sleeve seal contains a plural of sealing or mating surfaces to prevent the ingress of moisture through the adapter opening into the plug frame housing a ferrule. The adapter further comprises a washer-seal that is placed between an adapter flange face and a module face plate that secures the adapter with connectors therein to a rack of adapters.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical fiber connector assembly comprising:\n a connector with an edged tip; a sleeve seal with a tapered outer body configured to seal against edged tip; and wherein the edged tip compresses the tapered outer body thereby providing a substantial seal against moisture and debris.
