An optical connector comprises a plug housing having a pin cavity, and a receptacle housing having a socket cavity. A pin (501) having a front and rear orientation is disposed at least partially in the pin cavity. The pin (501) comprises at least a pin sleeve (502) which has a pin sleeve length, and the pin sleeve (502) at least partially contains a pin ferrule (503) and a pin lens (504). A socket (511) having a front and rear orientation is disposed at least partially in the socket cavity. The socket (511) comprises at least a socket sleeve (512) which has a socket sleeve length, and the socket sleeve (512) at least partially contains a socket ferrule (513) and a socket lens (514). An alignment sleeve is between the pin (501) and socket (511), wherein, when in a mated state, a pin front portion of the pin sleeve (502) and a socket front portion of the socket sleeve (512) are disposed in the alignment sleeve, the pin front portion and the socket front portion are at least one third the length of the pin sleeve (502) and socket sleeve (512), respectively. |
