Optical-fiber adapter

Abstract

An optical-fiber adapter includes a base member and a door piece. The base member has a receiving groove and an insertion opening and includes a doorstop portion. The insertion opening is in communication with the receiving groove, and the doorstop portion is at a bottom portion of the insertion opening. The door piece is in the receiving groove to selectively close or open the insertion opening. Each of two sides of the door piece has a pivot portion, each of the pivot portions is adjacent to the doorstop portion and pivotally connected to a corresponding one of two side walls of the base member, and an outer surface of the door piece includes a protrusion adjacent to the doorstop portion. When the optical-fiber plug is inserted into the receiving groove of the optical-fiber adapter, the protrusion abuts against the bottom surface of the connection body of the optical-fiber plug.
