Claims16
An optical connector protecting cap comprising:
- a cap body which is configured to attach to and substantially surround an end of an optical connector, wherein an axis line of the cap body is parallel to an optical axis of the optical connector;
- a projecting pulling piece extending, in a direction parallel to the axis line, from a front end wall of the cap body, wherein the projecting pulling piece is configured such that a drawing out force applied to the projecting pulling piece detaches the cap body from the optical connector.
An optical fiber cable connecting system, comprising:
- an optical fiber cable, an optical connector, and an optical connector protecting cap which is attached to the optical connector;
- and
- wherein the optical connector protecting cap comprises a cap body which is attached to and substantially surrounds an end of the optical connector, wherein an axis line of the cap body is parallel to an optical axis of the optical connector, and a projecting pulling piece extending, in a direction parallel to the axis line, from a front end wall of the cap body, wherein the projecting pulling piece is configured such that a drawing out force applied to the projecting pulling piece detaches the cap body from the optical connector.
An optical cap and removal tool system comprising:
- an optical connector protecting cap comprising:
- a cylindrical cap body and a projecting pulling piece protruding from a front end wall of the cap body, wherein the projecting pulling piece comprises an extended portion extending from the front end wall and a locking part disposed on an end of the extended portion;
- and
- a cap removal tool comprising a removal tool body which is engaged with the locking part, such that a drawing out force applied to the cap removal tool is transferred to the optical connector protecting cap.
