ABSTRACT:
An exemplary fiber optic connector includes four converging lenses and a main body. The main body includes a first surface and a opposite second surface. The first surface defines four receiving holes for receiving four optical fibers. The converging lenses are arranged on the second surface and align with the respective receiving holes. The second surface defines two receiving slots for fixedly receiving two fixing protrusions of a complementary fiber optic connector, as well as two buffer slot. The two buffer slots each are located between the converging lens and the receiving slot, and are configured for allowing two portions of the main body to be bendable, such that precise alignment of the converging lens and the receiving slot is maintained.
