Abstract

A fiber optic adapter is configured to mate with a fiber optic connector. The fiber optic connector has a connector body and a fiber containing ferrule protruding a distance from a forward end of theconnector body. The fiber optical adapter includes a housing forming a passageway, a coupling sleeve forming a passageway, and a shutter mounted to the coupling sleeve. The coupling sleeve is configured to accept the connector therein during an insertion of the connector in a longitudinal direction into the passageway. The shutter includes a base portion connected to the coupling sleeve and a light blocking portion extending from the base and extending into the passageway in a first position, the light blocking portion having at least a section being curved from a first end thereof to a secondend thereof along a length of the section.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application US62 / 560715, filed September 20, 2017, entitled "Light Shutter for Fiber Optic Adapters," which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to optical interconnects, and more particularly, to a fiber optic adapter configured to mate with a fiber optic connector. Background technique [0004] US Pat. No. 6,688,780 discloses a cantilever shutter for fiber optic adapters. The gate pivots repeatedly around a fulcrum to open and close the gate. Repeated pivoting about this fulcrum wears and possibly damages the gate. The present disclosure provides a gate that overcomes this problem in the prior art. Contents of the invention [0005] In one aspect, a fiber optic adapter is configured to mate with a fiber optic connector. The optical fiber connector has a connector body and a ferrule with an optical fiber protrud...
