Fiber Connector Assembly

摘要

A fiber connector assembly is provided. The fiber connector assembly includes a fiber connector, a zig-zag member, a signal direction element, and a signal splitting element. The fiber connector receives an input signal from an input fiber. The zig-zag member relays the input signal using a plurality of relay mirrors. The signal direction element directs the input signal and the output signal. The signal splitting element separates the output signal from the input signal. The fiber connector couples the output signal to an output fiber.

1. A system to split signals using a fiber connector assembly, the system comprising:
an array of fibers including:
an input fiber with an input signal, the input signal including at least one wavelength, anda plurality of output fibers, each of the plurality of output fibers to receive an output signal for the at least one wavelength; a fiber connector connected to the array of fibers, the fiber connector including a plurality of fiber lenses arranged such that each of the plurality of fiber lenses corresponds to one fiber in the array of fibers; a zig-zag member connected to the fiber connector to relay the input signal, the zig-zag member includes a plurality of relay mirrors to reflect the input signal, each of the plurality of relay mirrors correspond to at least one of the plurality of output fibers; a signal direction element between the fiber connector and the zig-zag member to direct the input signal and the output signal such that,
the input signal is tilted towards the zig-zag member, andthe output signal is coupled to one of the plurality of output fibers; and a signal splitting element to separate the output signal from the input signal.
