[0037] In the above description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "one side," "the other side," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] Furthermore, terms such as "identical" do not imply that components must be absolutely identical; minor differences are permissible. The term "perpendicular" simply means that the positional relationship between components is more perpendicular than "parallel," not that the structure must be perfectly perpendicular; a slight tilt is acceptable.

[0039] Please seeFigures 1-11 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fiber optic transceiver for computer network equipment, including a fiber optic transceiver body 1, a plurality of interfaces 2 provided on the fiber optic transceiver body 1, a protective sleeve 3 provided at each of the plurality of interfaces 2, the plurality of protective sleeves 3 being fixedly connected to the fiber optic transceiver body 1, an airbag 4 being fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of each of the plurality of protective sleeves 3, an air inlet 5 being provided on the airbag 4, and a first through hole 6 communicating with the air inlet 5 being provided on the protective sleeve 3, the first through hole 6 being connected to an inflation component 7.

[0040] In this solution: by setting protective sleeves 3 at multiple interfaces 2, the connection between the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 and the interface 2 of the fiber optic transceiver can be initially protected after the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 is inserted into the interface 2 of the fiber optic transceiver. An airbag 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective sleeve 3. The airbag 4 has an air inlet 5, and the protective sleeve 3 has a first through hole 6 communicating with the air inlet 5. The first through hole 6 connects to an inflation assembly 7. Inflating the airbag 4 with the inflation assembly 7 causes the sidewall of the airbag 4 to abut against the sidewall of the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26, filling the gap between the protective sleeve 3 and the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26, thus more firmly fixing the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 to the interface 2 of the fiber optic transceiver. This reduces the risk of the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 detaching or the fiber optic cable 26 bending and being damaged when subjected to external pulling force.

[0041] In this embodiment, there are multiple airbags 4, which are evenly distributed around the central axis of the protective sleeve 3.

[0042] In this design, multiple airbags 4 are evenly distributed circumferentially around the central axis of the protective sleeve 3. The sidewalls of the multiple airbags 4 can fit more tightly against the sidewall of the connector 27 of the optical fiber optic cable 26, making the connector 27 of the optical fiber optic cable 26 more securely fixed at the interface 2 of the optical fiber transceiver.

[0043] In this embodiment: the protective sleeve 3 is provided with an air supply channel 8 that communicates with the first through hole 6, and the air inlets 5 of the multiple airbags 4 are all connected to the air supply channel 8.

[0044] In this design: an air supply channel 8 is opened on the protective sleeve 3, communicating with the first through hole 6, and the air inlets 5 of the multiple airbags 4 are all connected to the air supply channel 8. Air is inflated into the first through hole 6 through the inflation assembly 7, and the gas flows into the air supply channel 8, delivering the gas to the multiple airbags 4, causing the sidewalls of the multiple airbags 4 to abut against the sidewall of the connector 27 of the optical fiber cable 26.

[0045] In this embodiment: the inflation assembly 7 includes an air pump 9, the output end of the air pump 9 is connected to a hose 10, and the end of the hose 10 away from the air pump 9 is connected to the first through hole 6.

[0046] In this design: the output end of the air pump 9 is connected to the hose 10, and the end of the hose 10 furthest from the air pump 9 is connected to the first through hole 6. The inflation assembly 7 can also be other inflation devices such as a syringe, but the air pump 9 provides a more stable inflation effect than a syringe, therefore, the air pump 9 is preferred.

[0047] When in use, connect the air pump 9 to the power supply. The air pump 9 compresses the outside gas and delivers it to the airbag 4 through the hose 10, so that the side wall of the airbag 4 fits against the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26.

[0048] In this embodiment, a valve 11 is installed on the hose 10.

[0049] In this design: a valve 11 is installed on the hose 10. Opening the valve 11 allows the air pump 9 to deliver outside gas into the airbag 4, or disconnecting the air pump 9 from the hose 10 releases the gas from the airbag 4. Closing the valve 11 maintains a certain gas level within the airbag 4.

[0050] In this embodiment: a first mounting base 12 and a second mounting base 13 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the protective sleeve 3.

After the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 is inserted into the interface 2 of the fiber optic transceiver, rotate the first arc plate 15 and the second arc plate 16 into the protective sleeve 3, and the fiber optic cable 26 passes through the notch 17. The first arc plate 15 and the second arc plate 16 abut against the tail of the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26, and the locking assembly 18 fixes the first arc plate 15 and the second arc plate 16, making the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 more securely fixed at the interface 2 of the fiber optic transceiver.

Rotate the first arc plate 15 and the second arc plate 16 to the upper and lower sides of the protective sleeve 3 to facilitate the insertion of the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 into the interface 2 of the fiber optic transceiver. After the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 is inserted into the interface 2 of the fiber optic transceiver, rotate the first arc plate 15 and the second arc plate 16 into the protective sleeve 3. The fiber optic cable 26 passes through the notch 17. The first arc plate 15 and the second arc plate 16 abut against the tail of the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26. The protrusion 19 engages in the groove 20 to fix the first arc plate 15 and the second arc plate 16, making the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 more securely fixed at the interface 2 of the fiber optic transceiver.

[0056] In this embodiment: a plug rod 21 is installed on the second arc plate 16, a second through hole 22 adapted to the plug rod 21 is opened on the second arc plate 16, a third through hole 23 adapted to the second through hole 22 is opened on the protrusion 19, and one end of the plug rod 21 can pass through the second through hole 22 and the third through hole 23.

[0057] In this solution: a plug rod 21 is installed on the second arc plate 16, a second through hole 22 adapted to the plug rod 21 is opened on the second arc plate 16, and a third through hole 23 adapted to the second through hole 22 is opened on the protrusion 19, and one end of the plug rod 21 can pass through the second through hole 22 and the third through hole 23.

[0058] In use, pull the plug 21 out of the third through hole 23, rotate the first arc plate 15 or the second arc plate 16 to disengage the protrusion 19 from the groove 20, and rotate the first arc plate 15 and the second arc plate 16 to the upper and lower sides of the protective sleeve 3 to facilitate the insertion of the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 into the interface 2 of the fiber optic transceiver. After the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 is inserted into the interface 2 of the fiber optic transceiver, rotate the first arc plate 15 and the second arc plate 16 into the protective sleeve 3, and the fiber optic cable 26 passes through the notch 17. The first arc plate 15 and the second arc plate 16 abut against the tail of the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26, the protrusion 19 is engaged in the groove 20, and one end of the plug 21 passes through the second through hole 22 and the third through hole 23 to fix the first arc plate 15 and the second arc plate 16, so that the connector 27 of the fiber optic cable 26 is more securely fixed at the interface 2 of the fiber optic transceiver.

[0059] In this embodiment, a handle 24 is fixedly connected to the insertion rod 21.

[0060] In this design, a handle 24 is fixedly connected to the insertion rod 21. This facilitates the insertion or removal of the insertion rod 21 from the second through hole 22 and the third through hole 23.
