[0002] In the rapidly developing field of communications technology, optical cables are the main carrier of high-speed, large-capacity data transmission, and their importance is self-evident. As an indispensable component of the optical cable system, optical cable connectors are responsible for connecting different optical cable segments and achieving continuous signal transmission. However, in practical applications, optical cable connectors face many challenges, especially in their transportation, storage, and pre-installation preparation stages.

[0003] Due to their delicate structure and materials, optical cable connectors are extremely sensitive to physical damage. Before installation, if they are subjected to external knocks, squeezing, or improper handling, they can easily break the optical fibers inside the connector, loosen the connection points, or damage the protective layer. This can affect the transmission performance and stability of the connector. This not only increases the maintenance cost of the optical cable system but can also cause communication failures and service interruptions, resulting in economic losses and inconvenience for operators and end users. Therefore, we have developed an optical cable connector and fixing clamp to improve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, both protective seats 302 are provided with avoidance grooves 303, and the connection end of the optical cable connector body 1 is located between the two avoidance grooves 303. The avoidance grooves 303 are used to avoid the connection end of the optical cable connector body 1, thereby improving the protection effect of the connection end of the optical cable connector body 1.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a hand-tightening bolt 304 is provided between the two clamping plates 301 and the two protective seats 302, and the two clamping plates 301 and the two protective seats 302 can be connected together by the hand-tightening bolt 304.

[0043] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer surface of the optical cable connector body 1 is fixed with a first fixing seat 2, and two clamping plates 301 are clamped on both sides of the first fixing seat 2 respectively. The first fixing seat 2 is used to prevent the clamping plates 301 from directly clamping the optical cable connector body 1.

[0044] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, a first limiting rod 201 is fixedly installed on one side of the first fixing seat 2, and a first limiting hole 305 is opened on one of the splints 301. The first limiting hole 305 is plugged into the outer surface of the first limiting rod 201.

[0050] The use process of the optical cable connector and fixing clamp provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0051] The third fixing seat 5 is fixed to the corresponding equipment through the bolts and the third limiting rod 501, and the hand-tightening bolt 304 is turned to move the two clamping plates 301 away from each other, thereby separating the first limiting hole 305 from the first limiting rod 201, and removing the protective structure 3. Then, the first limiting hole 305 is aligned with the second limiting rod 401, and the second limiting hole 6 is aligned with the third limiting rod 501.
