发明名称 Dust cover design for optical transceiver
摘要 A dust cover includes a frame shaped to circumscribe an end of a first connector configured to receive a second connector. The connectors can transmit a signal when coupled. A plurality of segments is rotatably coupled to the frame. The frame includes an opening sized to accommodate the second connector. The segments are operable between an open position and closed position. Each segment includes a flexible material and each segment is positioned around the opening and is coupled to the frame at a pivot point. The segments are shaped to cover the opening in the closed position and to expose at least a portion of the opening in the open position. An actuator is rotatably coupled to each segment. Movement of the actuator in a first direction moves the segments to the open position and movement of the actuator in a second direction moves the segments to a closed position.

主权项 1. An apparatus comprising: a frame shaped to surround an end of a first connector, the first connector configured to receive a second connector, the first and second connectors configured to transmit a signal when the first and second connectors are in a coupled position; a plurality of segments rotatably coupled to the frame, the frame comprising an opening, the opening sized to accommodate the second connector, the plurality of segments operable between an open position and a closed position, each segment comprising a flexible material such that the plurality of segments is capable of flexing to conform to the second connector when the second connector is coupled to the first connector, each segment positioned around the opening and coupled to the frame at a pivot point, the plurality of segments shaped to cover the opening when in the closed position and to expose at least a portion of the opening when in the open position; and an actuator rotatably coupled to each segment of the plurality of segments, wherein movement of the actuator in a first direction from a first position to a second position moves the plurality of segments to the open position and movement of the actuator in a second direction from the second position to the first position moves the plurality of segments to the closed position, the first direction opposite the second direction.
