Problems solved by technology

Such a bonding process is difficult and time-consuming during installation
Moreover, the structure of the existing mechanical splicing connector is not suitable for making the optical fiber connector ineffective (deactivating) and re-activating (re-activating) during field installation, because if the components of the optical fiber connector and the optical fiber cable are not damaged, Deactivating and reactivating this fiber optic connector can be inconvenient and time consuming
Additionally, field installation of existing fiber optic connectors is inconvenient and highly skilled
Additionally, special tools are required to field install existing fiber optic connectors

Abstract

The invention provides an optical fiber connector. The optical fiber connector comprises a mechanical splice assembly, a cam, mechanical splice assembly holder, a clamp holder, a connector housing and a shield, wherein the cam is used for activating the mechanical splice assembly; the mechanical splice assembly holder is used for containing and retaining the rear of the mechanical splice assembly; and the connector housing is used for containing the front of the mechanical splice assembly. Compared with the prior art, the optical fiber connector has the following advantages that the mechanical splice assembly is installed on the mechanical splice assembly holder, without using adhesives; the optical fiber guide mechanism is used for being connected with the optical fiber cable; the strength member strain relief mechanism is used for being connected with the optical fiber cable; the same optical fiber connector is used for being connected with different types and / or dimensions of optical fiber cables; and the special tools are not used for activating / re-activating the optical fiber connector during field installation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to fiber optic connectors, cable assemblies and methods of manufacture. More particularly, the present invention relates to fiber optic connectors, cable assemblies, and methods of connecting fiber optic cables to connectors. Background technique [0002] Optical fiber communication network is widely used to transmit voice, video, data and other signals. As known to those skilled in the art, in optical fiber communication networks, optical fiber cables are the main carrier of signals. Fiber optic cables need to be connected when used, because fiber optic cables are made in predetermined lengths, and fiber optic communication networks need to be branched. Fiber optic connectors are commonly used to connect the ends of two fiber optic cables to facilitate changes in fiber optic cable routing configurations. Furthermore, the optical fibers in the cable must be terminated when they reach the active transaction equ...
