Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an optical connector, specifically a multimode multicore non-contact optical connector. Background Technology

[0002] Existing connectors rely on direct physical contact between the fiber end faces (such as PC and APC end faces) to achieve optical coupling. Repeated insertion and removal operations can easily lead to scratches, wear, or dust / oil contamination of the end faces, significantly increasing optical signal loss. Long-term use results in a sharp drop in reliability, requiring frequent cleaning or replacement, and incurring high maintenance costs.

[0003] Harsh environments such as industrial and outdoor applications require connectors to have strong sealing properties. Existing designs mostly use a single sealing ring, but this cannot effectively prevent external dust and moisture from entering the fiber end face area. Utility Model Content
