OPTICAL BLIND-MATE CONNECTOR AND ADAPTER

摘要

Described are examples of optical blind-mate connector adaptors, optical blind-mate connectors to blind-mate to the adaptors, and optical blind-mate systems. In various implementations, an optical blind-mate connector adapter may include a sleeve, a shutter mounted on a pivot at an opening of the sleeve to move between a closed position and an open position extending into the sleeve, and a cantilever spring anchored to a wall of the sleeve and including a free end extending toward the opening of the sleeve to urge the shutter to the closed position
