OPTICAL CONNECTOR WITH ADHESIVE MATERIAL.

摘要

An optical fiber connector preloaded with an adhesive (34) is provided. The optical connector includes a body (20) having a passage with a first section (28) extending inwardly from a first face (22) of the body, a second section (30) extending inwardly from a second face (24) from the body, and a transition section (32) located between the first section (28) and the second section (30). The first section of the passage has a first width and the second section of the passage has a second width that is less than the first width. A meltable adhesive composition (34) is located within the transition section of the passage and is configured to bind an optical fiber (54) to an inner surface of the second section following melting and solidification of the adhesive composition.
