L-angle type optical connector

Abstract

Provided is an L-angle type optical connector for bending an optical fiber in a right angle direction and interconnecting, wherein an L-angle member that accommodates a part of the optical fiber bent in a right angle direction has a cut-out spanning the entire length of the L-angle member along the inside of the bending part, and on the side surface a protrusion is formed so as to protrude on the inside of the L-angle member that sandwiches the cut-out. The member that accommodates the part of the fiber bent in the right angle direction is constituted of one component; therefore, the number of components and the number of assembly steps can be reduced in comparison with a conventional two component constitution.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an L-angle optical connector for bending and wiring optical fibers in a right-angle direction. Background technique [0002] Figure 1A ~ 1C As a conventional example of such an L-angle optical connector, the configuration described in Patent Document 1 is shown. [0003] In this example, the optical connector has: the optical fiber core wire 11 is inserted and fixed and the flange 12 is pressed into the fixed ferrule 13 at the rear end; The stop ring 15 that supports the rear end of the spring 14 that is pressed forward; the latch frame 16 that covers these parts; The riveting matrix 18 inside the opening side of the other end; the riveting base 19 that fixes the Kevlar fiber (ケブラ) 10a as the expansion force line of the optical cable 10 to the riveting base 18; the Kevlar fiber (ケブラ) covering the optical cable 10 10a outer synthetic resin sheath 10b is fixed on the riveting ring 21 on the riveting seat 19; the protec...

Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, in the above-mentioned optical connector, the right-angle connection tube 17 for accommodating the bending portion of the optical cable (optical fiber) in the right-angle direction is composed of two half members 17a, 17b, that is, two parts, so the number of parts increases correspondingly. , In addition, in order to assemble the two parts (half parts 17a, 17b), the number of assembly steps is required
