Abstract
An optical fiber connector by which a worker can easily connect optical fibers at an on-site location, and in particular to an optical fiber connector which makes it possible to prevent the problems that an adhered state of a ferrule optical fiber installed in a ferrule is broken owing to a bending phenomenon occurring when an elastic member ferrule moves within an allowable (set) movement range owing to the nature of elastic force member or a connected state of a fusion connection part is damaged.
Claims19
An optical fiber connector in which a ferrule optical fiber accommodated in a ferrule elastically supported by an elastic member and a main optical fiber are melted and connected using a melted connection part, and the melted connection part is reinforced by a reinforcing sleeve, thus connecting the main optical fiber and the ferrule optical fiber, comprising:
- a ferrule bush which is disposed between the ferrule and the elastic member, one end of the ferrule bush being engaged with the reinforcing sleeve when reinforcing the melted connection part;
- and
- to a boot which is installed at an outer side of the reinforcing sleeve and is connected with the ferrule bush.
An optical fiber connector in which a ferrule optical fiber accommodated in a ferrule elastically supported by an elastic member and a main optical fiber are melted and connected by a melted connection part, and the melted connection part is reinforced by a reinforcing sleeve, thus connecting the main optical fiber and the ferrule optical fiber, comprising:
- the ferrule and a ferrule bush and the ferrule optical fiber which are integrally formed;
- and
- an elastic member which is disposed between the ferrule bush and a guide stop ring, with an end portion of the ferrule bush or an end portion of the ferrule optical fiber passing through the guide stop ring and being integrally engaged with the reinforcing sleeve.
