In practical applications, the optical module needs to be connected with the optical fiber to realize effective transmission of signals, and the reliability of the connection between the optical fiber and the optical module directly affects the performance of the entire communication system. The traditional optical fiber connection method usually relies on direct plug-in operation, which cannot monitor and digitize the plug-in state, cannot feedback the plug-in state of the end face of the optical fiber and the optical port of the optical module, and is prone to cause poor contact or damage to the end face of the optical fiber, thereby reducing the reliability of the connection between the optical fiber and the optical module.

In this way, the plugging force buffered by the elastic member 510 can be applied to the force applying member 520, and finally transmitted to the force detection structure 400 through the force applying member 520, so as to realize real-time monitoring of the plugging force. Optionally, the force applying member 520 is made of metal or hard plastic, has a certain rigidity, and can directly apply the plugging force buffered by the elastic member 510 to the force detection structure 400, so as to improve the accuracy of the plugging force detection result. In an embodiment, the force applying member 520 is arranged at the force center of the force detection structure 400, so as to further improve the accuracy of the plugging force detection result.
