OPTICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY AND OPTICAL CONNECTOR ADAPTER WITH SHUTTER

摘要

An optical connector assembly and an optical connector adapter with a shutter each provide better heat radiation performance by blocking light outputted from a first optical fiber held by a first optical connector plug with a shutter thereby controlling temperature of an adapter body of the optical connector adapter not to exceed a prescribed level even when light having optical high power is outputted from the first optical fiber for about 15 minutes. An countermeasure against the light having optical high power is provided in a side wall of one of first and second receiving holes to be irradiated with the light outputted from the first optical fiber toward the second receiving hole and reflected thereafter by the shutter plate disposed in one of the first and second receiving holes.

主权项

1. An optical connector assembly comprising:
an optical connector adapter having a first receiving hole and a second receiving hole opposed to the first receiving hole; and a first optical connector plug, holding a first optical fiber, inserted into the first receiving hole, wherein the optical connector adapter includes: an adapter body having the first receiving hole and the second receiving hole; a shutter plate disposed in the second receiving hole; and a countermeasure against optical high power having a function of heat radiation or optical radiation, wherein the countermeasure against optical high power is provided in a side wall of the second receiving hole, to which light having optical high power, outputted from the first optical fiber held by the first optical connector plug toward the second receiving hole and reflected by the shutter plate, is irradiated.
