ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber coupling assembly is provided herein for the coupling of at least a pair of fiber cables. A connector is installed to an end of a fiber cable. The connector is then inserted into a through channel of a coupler. A spring-loaded latch inside the through channel is used to force the cores of the fiber cables to be tightly joined together, reducing the power loss of the light signal transmission over the pair of coupled fiber cables. The coupling assembly is structurally simple, has a smaller form factor, and is able to increase installation efficiency and reduce production cost.
