Abstract
An optical fiber connector in accordance with the present invention prevents moisture from entering the optical fiber connector and comprises a core tube, a tightening assembly, a connecting ring, a water-resistant ring, a compressing tube, a water-resistant tube and an end tube. The tightening assembly is mounted tightly on the core tube and comprises a first tightening component and a second tightening component. The connecting ring is mounted on the second tightening component. The annular gasket is mounted on the first tightening component and in the connecting ring. The compressing tube is mounted on the second tightening component. The water-resistant tube is mounted on the compressing tube and the second tightening component. The end tube is mounted on the water-resistant tube.
