AI Technical Summary
When existing fiber optic connectors pass through ducts, the traction rope cannot rotate freely, causing the fiber optic cable to twist and rotate within the duct, thus affecting data transmission.
It adopts a front and rear protective sleeve structure that can be snapped together. The front protective sleeve has a ball-shaped snap-fit part, and the rear protective sleeve has a snap-fit part, which allows the front protective sleeve to rotate freely in the circumferential direction. Combined with the internal thread connection and the elastic snap-fit strip, it can achieve a detachable connection.
This allows the traction rope to rotate freely during the pipe threading process, preventing the optical cable from twisting or rotating longitudinally within the pipe, protecting the ferrule, increasing traction, and ensuring stable data transmission.
