Abstract

The present invention relates to an outdoor waterproof fiber optic connector and, more specifically, to an outdoor waterproof fiber optic connector, which is a fiber optic connector inserted and mounted into a closure for branching a single optical cable, has an insertion groove and a stepped portion formed at the outer periphery of the fiber optic connector correspondingly insertion-fastened to an insertion hole of the closure so as to have a structure that can be conveniently and easily attached/detached even without a separate fixing means while being in contact with a fixing means in the insertion hole, and further includes a sealing member in contact with the inner periphery of the insertion hole, and thus the present invention can have a waterproof function of blocking the inflow of foreign substances and moisture through the insertion hole in which the fiber optic connector is mounted.

Dependent claims

An outdoor waterproof fiber optic connector (100) that is inserted and mounted in a closure (300) for branching an optical cable, comprising:

a connector main body (110) having a plug (114) formed at one end of the connector main body and a ferrule (113), in which an optical fiber is arranged, formed at a center of the one end so that the connector main body is fitted to an insertion hole (307) of the closure (300) and connected to an optical adaptor (310) inside the closure;
a sealing member (120) enabling a waterproof function to be fulfilled as an outer periphery is in contact with an inside of a seating groove (121) by forming the seating groove (121) in an outer periphery of a middle portion of the connector main body (110) ;
an insertion groove (130) formed in an outer periphery between the plug (114) and the sealing member (120) to be correspondingly latched and mounted to a fiber optic connector locking device (200) formed on an inner bottom surface of the insertion hole (307) to be fixed thereto.
