Abstract
An optical connector that can stably connect even a tension-resistant jacket-covered optical fiber cord is provided. In an optical connector, which includes an optical connector plug 10 having a ferrule 14 holding an optical fiber and a housing 16 accommodating the ferrule, and an adapter connecting the optical connector plugs; the optical fiber is an optical fiber cord 12 in which at least the jacket carries tension, a secondary coated optical fiber (120) and the jacket (123) carrying the tension of the optical fiber cord 12 are secured to the ferrule 14, and the ferrule 14 is immovably mounted to the housing 16.
Claims8
An optical connector plug comprising:
- an optical fiber cord having a secondary coated optical fiber and a tension-resistant jacket covering the secondary coated optical fiber;
- a ferrule fixed to an end of said optical fiber cord, the tension-resistant jacket of said optical fiber cord being secured to said ferrule;
- and
- a housing accommodating the ferrule, in such a manner that said ferrule is axially immovable but radially movable.
An optical connector comprising:
- an optical connector plug comprising:
- an optical fiber cord having a secondary coated optical fiber and a tension-resistant jacket covering the secondary coated optical fiber;
- a ferrule fixed to an end of said optical fiber cord, the tension-resistant jacket of said optical fiber cord being secured to said ferrule;
- and
- a housing accommodating the ferrule, in such a manner that said ferrule is axially immovable but radially movable;
- and
- a connecting adapter which mutually connects a pair of said optical connector plugs.
An optical connector plug comprising:
- a first optical connector plug comprising:
- an optical fiber cord having a secondary coated optical fiber and a tension-resistant jacket covering the secondary coated optical fiber;
- a ferrule fixed to an end of said optical fiber cord, the tension-resistant jacket of said optical fiber cord being secured to said ferrule;
- and
- a housing accommodating the ferrule, in such a manner that said ferrule is axially immovable but radially movable;
- a second optical connector plug comprising:
- an optical fiber cord having a secondary coated optical fiber and a tension-resistant jacket covering the secondary coated optical fiber;
- a ferrule fixed to an end of said optical fiber, the tension-resistant jacket of said optical fiber cord being secured to said ferrule;
- and
- a housing accommodating the ferrule, in such a manner that said ferrule is axially movable;
- and
- a connecting adapter which mutually connects both said optical connector plugs.
