[0002] A fiber optic connector is a device that provides detachable or active connections between optical fibers. It precisely connects the two end faces of the optical fiber so that the light energy output by the transmitting optical fiber can be coupled to the receiving optical fiber to the maximum extent possible, and the impact on the system caused by its involvement in the optical link is minimized. This is the basic requirement of a fiber optic connector. To a certain extent, the fiber optic connector affects the reliability and performance of the optical transmission system.

At the same time, this type of material itself is easily damaged by external forces and loses its locking effect. It is also difficult to relieve external forces after the structure is connected to provide anti-bending protection for the connected optical fibers.
