Optical connector and method for assembling same

摘要

An optical connector to which an optical fiber cord including an optical fiber ribbon and a sheath is to be attached includes: a ferrule member a fusion splice protection sleeve, housing and a fixing member. The ferrule member holds a plurality of embedded fibers which are to be fusion-spliced respectively to a plurality of optical fibers constituting the optical fiber ribbon. The fusion splice protection sleeve protects a fusion-spliced portion. The housing houses the ferrule member and the fusion splice protection sleeve. The housing has, at the rear end, a recess for receiving a bifurcated portion of the sheath. The fixing member fixes the sheath to the housings and by holding it.

1. An optical connector to which an optical fiber cord including an optical fiber ribbon and a sheath is attached, the optical fiber ribbon containing a plurality of optical fibers, and the sheath covering the optical fiber ribbon, comprising:
a ferrule member holding a plurality of embedded fibers respectively to be fusion-spliced to the plurality of optical fibers; a fusion splice protection sleeve for protecting the fusion-spliced portion of the optical fibers and the embedded fibers; a housing for accommodating the ferrule member and the fusion splice protection sleeve, the housing having a male screw part around an outer circumference, and having, at a rear end, a recess for receiving a torn portion of the sheath; and a fixing member for fixing the sheath to the housing by clamping the sheath between the housing and the fixing member, the fixing member having a female screw part around an inner circumference so as to engage with the male screw part of the housing, and being attached to the rear portion of the housing.
