Optical fiber connector

摘要

The present disclosure relates to an optical fiber connector for holding an optical fiber. The optical fiber connector includes a core and a cladding layer surrounding the core. The optical fiber connector includes an optical fiber holding apparatus, a ferrule unit, and a housing connecting to the optical fiber holding apparatus and the ferrule unit. The optical fiber holding apparatus includes a holding member with a first holding portion and a second holding portion. One of the first holding portion and the second holding portion includes at least one positioning pillar, and the other holding portion defines at least one positioning hole corresponding to the positioning pillar. The positioning pillar is configured to wind the clad strips locking the first holding portion and the second holding portion cooperatively to the optical fiber, and the positioning pillar is engaged with the positioning hole.
