ABSTRACT:
The proposed optic-fiber connector is used for interconnecting optic-fiber cables. It comprises a receptacle with spring-loaded centralisers and two plugs with ferrules. The centraliser at each side includes an embracing portion, fixed end, movable end furnished with projections. The receptacle includes two sliders, each having a lock with a releasing knob. Each plug is provided with —a movable grid for compressing a spring-loaded insertion, —an arm for moving the grid, and —a fixing device. The embracing portions tightly encompass the ferrules. The slider essentially fixes the plug in the receptacle, and releases the grid for displacement. The insertion produces a force required for compressing the counterpart ferrules. The connector's design facilitates connection and disconnection, provides a small size, while connecting a multitude of optic-fibers, increases the adjustment accuracy producing a required force to depress the ferrules of connected waveguides, eases field connection works, and allows avoiding switches in fiberoptic networks.
