US 2020/0400910 A1 · Flexible Fiber Node Connector

Abstract

A fiber node connector includes a first duct fitting and a second duct fitting. The first duct fitting is configured to be fixedly coupled with a flexible duct, to couple a nut with the flexible duct, to permit the nut to rotate relative to the flexible duct, and to permit limited relative axial movement between the nut and the flexible duct. The second duct fitting is configured to be axially and rotatably fixed to the flexible duct, to couple a connector body to the flexible duct, to permit the connector body to rotate relative to the flexible duct, and to permit limited relative axial movement between the connector body and the flexible duct.
