Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ferrule adapters, in particular to an MPO connector and an MT ferrule adapter. Background Art

[0002] Market demand is increasing for AOC and MT patch cables, necessitating performance testing and optical clearance for these cables. However, few MPO-to-MT flanges are currently available on the market, so these procedures often rely on pin-jointing. However, these have the following drawbacks: pin-joining requires a small pinhole, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming; the lack of pin positions can easily damage and contaminate the MPO connector and MT ferrule end faces; and the inability to directly observe polarity during testing. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems in the existing technical solutions that rely on pin connection to complete performance testing, light transmission and other processes, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive, prone to end face damage and contamination, and unable to observe the polarity test situation, the utility model provides an MPO connector and MT ferrule adapter.

[0004] The utility model provides the following technical solutions.

[0005] An MPO connector and MT ferrule adapter, comprising:

[0006] An MPO flange, wherein the MPO flange is provided with a first interface;

[0007] An MT ferrule guide is detachably connected to the MPO flange, the MT ferrule guide is provided with a second interface that is docked with the first interface, the second interface cooperates with the MT ferrule docking portion, and the thickness of the second interface is greater than the length of the MT ferrule docking portion. The MT ferrule guide is provided with a first observation window on a side facing the MPO flange.

[0008] Preferably, the width of the first observation window is greater than the width of the MT ferrule docking portion.

[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the MT ferrule guide is further provided with a second observation window.

[0010] Preferably, the MPO flange is connected to the MT ferrule guide by bolts.

[0011] Preferably, the MT ferrule guide is made of metal material.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the MPO connector and the MT ferrule are respectively plugged into the first interface and the second interface to complete the transfer, thereby improving the docking efficiency; the second interface cooperates with the docking portion of the MT ferrule, and after the docking portion is inserted into the second interface, the stepped structure formed by the boss portion and the docking portion of the MT ferrule limits the insertion depth of the MT ferrule, and the thickness of the second interface is greater than the length of the docking portion of the MT ferrule, effectively preventing the MT ferrule from physically contacting the MPO connector, thereby avoiding damage and contamination of the ferrule end face; and a first observation window is provided on the side of the MT ferrule guide facing the MPO flange to facilitate direct observation of the polarity test.

[0018] The following is a more detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and reference numerals, so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention after studying this specification. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0019] The utility model provides an MPO connector and MT ferrule adapter, which is used to connect the existing MPO adapter and MT ferrule. Figure 4 It has a docking portion 31 and a boss portion 32 arranged at the end of the docking portion 31. The docking portion 31 is provided with an optical fiber port for fixing the optical fiber. A glue window 33 is also provided on the side of the docking portion 31. The boss portion 32 and the docking portion 31 form a stepped structure.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1-3 The adapter includes an MPO flange 10 and an MT ferrule guide 20. A threaded hole is provided on both sides of the MPO flange 10 and the MT ferrule guide 20, and the two are detachably connected by bolts.

[0021] The MPO flange 10 is provided with a first interface 11, which is used to plug in the MPO connector. Its specific structure can refer to the existing technology. The MT ferrule guide 20 is provided with a second interface 21 that is connected to the first interface 11 and is used to plug in the MT ferrule. Figure 4 As shown, the MPO connector and the MT ferrule are respectively plugged into the first interface and the second interface to complete the connection, thereby improving the docking efficiency.

[0022] Specifically, the second interface 21 cooperates with the docking portion 31 of the MT ferrule. After the docking portion 31 is inserted into the second interface 21, the stepped structure formed by the boss portion 32 of the MT ferrule and the docking portion 31 limits the insertion depth of the MT ferrule. The thickness H1 of the second interface 21 is greater than the length H2 of the MT ferrule docking portion 31, effectively preventing the MT ferrule from physically contacting the MPO connector and avoiding damage and contamination of the ferrule end face. The MT ferrule guide 20 is also provided with a first observation window 22, the width of which is greater than the width of the MT ferrule docking portion 31. The first observation window 22 is a groove provided on the side of the MT ferrule guide 20 facing the MPO flange 10, and the two sides of the groove extend to the two side walls of the MT ferrule guide 20 to form openings, facilitating direct observation of the polarity test.

[0023] Preferably, a second observation window 23 is further provided on the side wall of the MT ferrule guide 20 . The second observation window 23 is communicated with the second interface 21 , so as to facilitate identification of the direction of the MT ferrule dispensing window 33 .

[0024] Preferably, the MT ferrule guide 20 is made of metal material to increase service life.

[0025] The above is a description of one or more embodiments of the present invention, and while the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
