Abstract
An optical fiber assembly includes two adapters and a connecting element. Each of the adapters includes a connector, a first coupling portion, and a first optical fiber connected between the connector and the first coupling portion. The connecting element includes two second coupling portions and a second optical fiber connected between the two second coupling portions. The second coupling portions are detachably connected to the first coupling portions.
Claims7
An optical fiber assembly, comprising:
- two adapters, each adapter comprising:
- a connector comprising a laser diode converting electronic signals into light rays and a photo diode converting the light rays to the electronic signals;
- a first coupling portion;
- and
- a first optical fiber connected between the connector and the first coupling portion;
- a connecting element, comprising:
- two second coupling portions detachably connected to the two first coupling portions of the two adapters;
- and
- a second optical fiber connected between the two second coupling portions;
- wherein the light rays emitted from the laser diode of one adapter are transmitted to the photo diode of another adapter via the first optical fiber of one adapter, the second optical fiber, and the first optical fiber of another adapter.
