ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber coupling assembly is provided, which is an integration of connectors and coupler. A connector is installed to an end of a fiber cable. The connector is then inserted into a sleeve of a coupler. A latch is used to force the end surface of the fiber cable's core to be tightly joined to that of an opposite fiber cable also coupled to the coupling assembly, reducing the power loss of the light signal transmission over the two fiber cables. The coupling assembly is structurally simple, has a smaller form factor, and is able to increase operation efficiency and reduce production cost.
