Optical fiber connector with optical fiber holder received in RJ45 plug

摘要

An optical fiber connector includes a housing, two coupling lenses, a RJ45 plug, a holder, and two optical fibers. The housing defines a receiving cavity with a bottom surface and two through holes. The coupling lens is positioned on the bottom surface and covers the through holes. The RJ45 plug is received in the receiving cavity and defines a receiving recess. The holder is received in the receiving recess and defines two receiving through holes. The optical fibers are received in the receiving through holes and optically aligned with the coupling lenses.

1. An optical fiber connector comprising:
a housing comprising a first sidewall, the housing defining a first receiving cavity in the first sidewall, the first receiving cavity comprising a first bottom surface parallel to the first sidewall, the housing defining two through holes running all the way through the first bottom surface; two first coupling lenses directly positioned on the first bottom surface, each of the two first coupling lenses totally covering a respective one of the two through holes; a RJ45 plug received in the first receiving cavity, the RJ45 plug comprising a first end surface and a second end surface opposite to the first end surface, the RJ45 plug defining a receiving recess extending all the way through the first end surface and the second end surface; a holder received in the receiving recess, the holder comprising a first outer surface and a second outer surface opposite to the first outer surface, the holder defining two receiving through holes running all the way through the first outer surface and the second outer surface; and two optical fibers, each of the two optical fibers received in a respective one of the two receiving through holes and optically aligned with a respective one of the two coupling lenses.
