Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a connector jumper, specifically an MPO jumper that supports optical splitters. Background Technology

[0002] A beam splitter is a passive device, also known as an optical splitter. It requires no external energy, only input light. A beam splitter consists of entrance and exit slits, a mirror, and a dispersive element. Its function is to separate the desired resonant absorption lines. The key component of a beam splitter is the dispersive element; modern instruments typically use gratings.

[0003] Currently, conventional optical splitters typically have splitting ratios of 1 / 2:2, 1 / 2:4, 1 / 2:8, 1 / 2:16, and 1 / 2:32. They use miniature splitters, with fiber optic connectors fused together with bundled pigtails for both input and output, allowing for direct use. The splitting ratio is relatively fixed. However, with the increasing popularity of MPO patch cords, conventional optical splitters can no longer meet the splitting function requirements of MPO patch cords. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an MPO jumper that supports optical splitters, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An MPO jumper supporting an optical splitter includes:

[0007] An MPO jumper body having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end are opposite to each other;

[0008] MTP connector one located at the first end;

[0009] MTP connector two located at the second end;

[0010] The MPO jumper body includes multiple cores, which can be individually stripped and connected to an optical splitter.

[0011] As described above, the MPO jumper for supporting optical splitters has an MTP connector die with a shielding module for shielding and marking the stripped wire cores.

[0012] The MPO patch cord supporting the optical splitter as described above: the splitting ratio of the optical splitter includes 1 / 2:2, 1 / 2:4, 1 / 2:8, 1 / 2:16 and 1 / 2:32, and the end of the optical splitter away from the wire core is connected to an optical fiber connector.

[0013] The MPO jumper for supporting optical splitters as described above: multiple cores are arranged equidistantly side by side, and the insulation layer on the outside of the cores is integrally formed.

[0014] As described above, the MPO jumper for supporting optical splitters has a pre-drilled opening in the insulation between two adjacent cores for stripping.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The MPO jumper provided by this utility model can strip out a corresponding number of wire cores as needed. Each wire core is fused with the optical splitter to complete the splitting function, while the remaining wire cores remain connected to the MTP connector. This achieves the function of maintaining the MPO jumper body from zero to whole while increasing the function of the MPO jumper body from whole to zero, making the MPO jumper body more practical and able to cope with more complex splitting and fiber splitting functions, achieving the effect of capacity expansion. This makes the splitting ratio no longer fixed and improves the applicability of the MPO jumper. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0021] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.

[0022] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented even without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, and elements well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the present invention, an MPO jumper supporting an optical splitter includes an MPO jumper body 1 having a first end and a second end, the first end being opposite to the second end, an MTP connector 2 located at the first end, the MTP connector 2 being the female end (input end) of the MTP connector; and an MTP connector 5 located at the second end, the MTP connector 5 being the male end (output end) of the MTP connector; the MPO jumper body 1 includes a plurality of wire cores 101, the wire cores 101 being individually stripped and connected to the optical splitter 3.

[0024] Specifically, during use, a corresponding number of wire cores 101 are stripped out as needed. Each wire core 101 is fused with the optical splitter 3 to complete the beam splitting function. The remaining wire cores 101 remain connected to the MTP connector 2 5. This achieves the function of maintaining the MPO jumper body 1 from zero to whole while adding the function of the MPO jumper body 1 from whole to zero, making the MPO jumper body 1 more versatile and able to cope with more complex beam splitting and fiber splitting functions, thus achieving the capacity expansion effect.

[0025] Furthermore, the MTP connector 2 5 is provided with a shielding module for shielding and marking the stripped wire core 101. The MTP connector 2 has a shielding function to shield the wire core 101 stripped from the front MPO jumper body 1, preventing confusion during use at the back end and maintaining the effect after beam splitting.

[0026] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the input interface; the input is a complete set of fiber optic connectors. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the output interface. The shielding module is a marked blocking component. When the output port is branched in the middle of the jumper, some output ports will completely fail. The blocking component blocks some ports. The markings on the blocking component are to indicate which optical fibers have branched, so as to avoid using the failed ports later.

[0027] The optical splitter 3 has a splitting ratio of 1 / 2:2, 1 / 2:4, 1 / 2:8, 1 / 2:16 and 1 / 2:32, and the end of the optical splitter 3 away from the wire core 101 is connected to an optical fiber connector 4.

[0028] Multiple cores 101 are arranged equidistantly side by side, and the insulation layer on the outside of the core 101 is integrally formed. It should be noted that, in order to ensure the light transmission effect of the core 101, a reinforcing layer (including but not limited to plastic or metal reinforcing body) is provided on the outside of the optical fiber inside each core 101 to achieve mechanical support and protection. The insulation layer is wrapped around the outside of the reinforcing layer and is made of rubber material. On the one hand, it realizes the connection between two adjacent cores 101, and on the other hand, it protects the internal optical fiber from the influence of the external environment, such as dust, moisture and chemicals.

[0029] To facilitate the stripping of two adjacent wire cores 101, a tear is provided in the insulation layer between two adjacent wire cores 101 for stripping, which can be manually stripped by the operator, making the operation convenient.

[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0031] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
