These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments.

The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.
[0025] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a novel MPO circuit breaker is provided.
[0026] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-6 As shown, a novel MPO looper according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2. The upper shell 1 is inserted into the surface of the lower shell 2 to form a cavity. One end of the cavity is connected to an MPO connector 11. An insertion block 3 is provided at the beginning of the upper shell 1, and an arc-shaped portion is provided at the end of the upper shell 1. A limiting block 4 and a protrusion 5 are provided in the arc-shaped portion. The limiting block 4 is located in the middle of the arc-shaped portion, and the protrusion 5 is located at the end of the arc-shaped portion. The lower shell 2 is provided with an optical fiber separation ring 6, a stop block 7, and a plug 8. The upper shell 1 and lower shell 2 are connected by a limiting port 9 and a snap-fit part 10. The fiber optic separation ring 6 is fixed inside the lower shell 2. The stop block 7 is located at the end of the lower shell 2, serving to block and protect the fiber optic cable. The limiting port 9 is located below the stop block 7. The plug 8 is located at the other end of the lower shell 2 away from the stop block 7. The limiting block 4 is in contact with the fiber optic separation ring 6 to separate and position the multi-core fiber optic cable, ensuring the accuracy and stability of each fiber optic cable during the connection process. The protrusion 5 is connected to the limiting port 9, and the insertion block 3 is snapped into the snap-fit part 10. This achieves a stable connection between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 at the beginning, making the entire shell structure more robust and reliable.
[0027] In one embodiment, both the outer sides of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are provided with anti-slip textures 12.
[0028] In one embodiment, the plug 8 is provided with a latch 81 and a slot 82, the slot 82 extending along the plug 8 into the interior of the lower housing 2. Two sets of latches 81 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the plug 8, and the plug 8 is connected to the MPO connector 11. This provides a guiding and securing channel for the insertion of external optical fibers, ensuring that the optical fibers can be accurately and stably connected to the MPO connector 11.
[0029] In one embodiment, the snap-fit portion 10 is provided with a snap-fit groove 101 and a limiting seat 102, wherein the snap-fit groove 101 is disposed within the limiting seat 102.
[0030] In one embodiment, the limiting block 3 is provided with guide blocks 31 and locking blocks 32. Two sets of locking blocks 32 are located on two sets of guide blocks 31. The guide blocks 31 are connected to the slots 82, and the locking blocks 32 are connected to the slots 101. During the process of inserting the insertion block 3 into the locking part 10, the guide blocks 31 slide along the slots 82, playing a guiding role, so that the locking blocks 32 can be accurately inserted into the slots 101, achieving a tight connection between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2.
[0031] In one embodiment, the locking block 32 is an elastic member. When the inserting block 3 is inserted into the locking part 10, the locking block 32 is compressed and deformed, and after entering the locking groove 101, it returns to its original shape and is locked in the locking groove 101, ensuring that the connection between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 is firm and reliable, and also facilitating the disassembly and installation of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2.
[0032] Working principle: Align the limiting block 4 of the upper shell 1 with the fiber optic separation ring 6 of the lower shell 2, and slowly insert the upper shell 1 along the surface of the lower shell 2. The guide block 31 of the upper shell 1 slides along the slot 82 of the plug 8, causing the locking block 32 to be squeezed and deformed inward. When the locking block 32 reaches the position of the slot 101, the locking block 32 returns to its original shape and is locked into the slot 101. At the same time, the protrusion 5 of the upper shell 1 is inserted into the limiting port 9 of the lower shell 2, completing the assembly of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 and forming a stable cavity structure.
