Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a network connector, comprising: a network connector body 1 provided with a plurality of sockets 5 in a rectangular array, an indicator light assembly being provided on one side of each socket 5, a limiting member 4 for limiting a position being provided on one side of each socket 5 close to the indicator light assembly, a shielding assembly being provided on the network connector body 1 for protecting each socket 5, and the shielding assembly at least partially covering the outer side of each limiting member 4.

[0026] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the shielding assembly includes a shielding shell 2 and a plurality of shielding parts 7. The shielding shell 2 is a rectangular frame structure, and a plurality of through holes corresponding to the sockets 5 are penetrated through the shielding shell 2. Each shielding part 7 is an L-shaped structure, and both ends of each shielding part 7 are integrally connected to the shielding shell 2. A storage space for installing the indicator light assembly is formed between each shielding part 7 and the shielding shell 2.

[0027] As described above, when using the network connector body 1, indicator light assembly, limit member 4 and shielding assembly provided by the utility model, the shielding shell 2 in the shielding assembly protects the edge positions of multiple sockets 5 on the network connector body 1, and the limit member 4 in the socket 5 is protected by the shielding member 7, thereby improving the use strength of the limit member 4 and thus improving the service life of the limit member 4.

[0028] Further, in order to install the indicator light body 3 between the network connector body 1 and the shielding shell 2, refer to Figure 5-6 As shown, the indicator light assembly includes two indicator light bodies 3, and a lamp hole 6 penetrating the shielding shell 2 is symmetrically opened on one side of each socket 5, and a storage space is formed in the two lamp holes 6, and each indicator light body 3 is respectively installed in the corresponding lamp hole 6. The lamp hole 6 facilitates the installation of the indicator light body 3 between the network connector body 1 and the shielding shell 2.

[0029] In the present utility model, combined with Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a transparent cover 10 is provided outside each storage space for protecting the indicator light assembly, and each transparent cover 10 can be detachably mounted on the shielding shell 2 .

[0030] As mentioned above, when the transparent cover 10 provided by the present invention is used, a protective structure is formed on the outside of each indicator light body 3 by the transparent cover 10 to prevent the crystal head from directly contacting the indicator light body 3 .

[0031] Further, in order to facilitate the detachable installation of the transparent cover 10 on the outside of the lamp hole 6, refer to Figure 6 As shown, a flange 9 is further installed at the edge of the transparent cover 10, and a double-sided adhesive tape 8 is installed between the flange 9 and the shielding shell 2. The flange 9 is convenient for providing an installation position for the double-sided adhesive tape 8 on the transparent cover 10, and the flange 9 can be detachably installed on the outside of the lamp hole 6 through the double-sided adhesive tape 8, so that the transparent cover 10 can be detachably installed on the outside of the lamp hole 6, and then the indicator light body 3 is protected by the transparent cover 10.

[0032] Further, in order to prevent the transparent cover 10 from being displaced during use, refer to Figure 6-7 As shown, at least two positioning posts 11 for positioning are installed on the flange 9, and a positioning hole 12 for accommodating the positioning is opened on the shielding shell 2, and at least part of the positioning posts 11 is inserted into the positioning holes 12.
