Abstract
An optical fiber fixing device for fixing optical fibers in an optical connector includes a supporting arm, two connecting arms, and a pressing arm. The supporting arm includes a first end and an opposite second end. The connecting arms respectively extend from the first end and the second end toward a same direction. The connecting arms are configured for insertion into the optical connector. The pressing arm extends from the supporting arm between the connecting arms. The pressing arm is configured for pressing the optical fibers onto the optical connector.
Claims8
An optical fiber fixing device for fixing optical fibers in an optical connector, comprising:
- a supporting arm comprising a first end and an opposite second end;
- two connecting arms respectively extending from the first end and the second end toward a same direction, the connecting arms configured for insertion into the optical connector;
- and
- at least one pressing arm extending from the supporting arm between the connecting arms, the at least one pressing arm configured for pressing the optical fibers onto the optical connector.
A method for assembling optical fibers to an optical connector, the optical connector defining a plurality of blind holes, the method comprising:
- providing an optical fiber fixing device, the optical fiber fixing device comprising:
- a supporting arm comprising a first end and an opposite second end;
- two connecting arms respectively extending from the first end and the second end toward a same direction;
- and
- at least one pressing arm extending from the supporting arm between the two connecting arms;
- inserting optical fibers into the blind holes;
- and
- inserting the connecting arms into the optical connector, thus the at least one pressing arm pressing the optical fibers onto the optical connector;
- and applying a glue to the optical fibers to fixedly affix the optical fiber to the optical connector.
An optical fiber fixing device for fixing optical fibers to an optical connector, the optical connector comprising two insertion slots, a plurality of blind holes, and a groove portion, the groove portion having a plurality of grooves defined therein communicating with the respective blind holes, the optical fibers received in the corresponding blind holes and grooves, the optical fiber fixing device comprising:
- a supporting arm comprising a first end and an opposite second end;
- two connecting arms respectively extending from the first end and the second end toward a same direction, the connecting arms configured for insertion into the insertion slots of the optical connector;
- and
- at least one pressing arm extending from the supporting arm between the connecting arms, the at least one pressing arm configured for securely pressing the optical fibers against the groove portion of the optical connector.
