OPTICAL FIBER ADAPTER WITH SHUTTER MEMBER

摘要

An optical fiber adapter includes a main body and an elastic shutter member. The main body has an axial passage defined by a first wall, a second wall, a third wall and a fourth wall, wherein the first wall faces the third wall and connects with the second and fourth walls. The passage has opposing first and second openings in the axial direction.;A fixing plate is positioned above the third wall and a gap is formed between the fixing plate and the third wall. The shutter member includes a fixing portion, a shutter plate and a connecting portion. The fixing portion is positioned in the gap formed between the fixing plate and the third wall. The connecting portion connects the fixing portion with the shutter plate and clamps the fixing plate. The shutter plate extends from the connecting portion and into the passage.
