Abstract
The invention relates to a duplex plug-in connector for optical fiber connectors, comprising two fastening devices for receiving two simplex plug-in connectors (14) for forming a duplex plug-in connector (22), the fastening devices being designed in such a way that they at least partially enclose the connector housing (18) and/or a kink preventer (17) of a plug-in connector (14) to be received.
Claims8
A duplex connector for optical fiber connectors, the duplex connector comprising:
- two fastening devices for receiving two simplex plug-in connectors for forming the duplex plug-in connector, the simplex plug-in connectors each having a connector housing and/or a kink preventer wherein the fastening devices at least partially enclose the connector housing and/or a kink preventer of the plug-in connectors to be received, wherein the fastening devices are designed as C-shaped receptacles with adjoining right-angled receptacles.
An optical fiber duplex connector and simplex plug-in connectors combination, comprising:
- a first simplex plug-in connector with a connector housing and/or a kink preventer;
- a second simplex plug-in connector with a connector housing and/or a kink preventer;
- and
- a duplex connector with a first fastening device for receiving said first simplex plug-in connector and a second fastening device for receiving said second simplex plug-in connector, each of said first fastening device and said second fastening device at least partially enclosing a respective said connector housing and/or a kink preventer of said first simplex plug-in connector or said second simplex plug-in connector to be received, wherein the fastening devices are C-shaped receptacles for connection with a curved portion of the respective said connector housing and/or a kink preventer of said first simplex plug-in connector or said second simplex plug-in connector to be received and a right-angled receptacle adjoins the C-shaped receptacle for connection of said C-shaped receptacle with a curved portion of the respective said connector housing and/or a kink preventer of said first simplex plug-in connector or said second simplex plug-in connector to be received and for connection of an adjacent right-angled portion of the respective said connector housing and/or a kink preventer of said first simplex plug-in connector or said second simplex plug-in connector to be received.
An optical fiber duplex connector, comprising:
- a first simplex plug-in connector with a cylindrical part or tapered part having a curved surface and an adjacent first flat surface and a second flat surface forming an angle therebetween;
- a second simplex plug-in connector with a cylindrical part or tapered part having a curved surface and an adjacent first flat surface and a second flat surface forming an angle therebetween;
- a duplex connector part with a first fastening portion with a curved surface receptacle for receiving said first simplex plug-in connector curved surface and an adjacent flat surface receptacle for receiving said first simplex plug-in connector first flat surface and a second flat surface forming an angle and a second fastening portion with a curved surface receptacle for receiving said second simplex plug-in connector curved surface and an adjacent flat surface receptacle for receiving said second simplex plug-in connector first flat surface and a second flat surface forming an angle.
