Miniature multi-way plug for optical fibers includes upper and lower casing sections with angled link releasing all spring catches simultaneously when plug is withdrawn from socket

摘要

The plug has upper and lower sections (2, 3) forming its casing (1). Individual plug sections (5) include ferrules connecting to the optical cable. A spring catch (6) hooks into the opposite socket. Individual plug sections are arranged in the casing such that all spring catches lie across the plane of separation of the casing sections. An angled link (7) projects over the end of the spring catches. Pressure on the link when the plug is pulled out from the socket, releases all spring catches simultaneously. The cable attachment is further detailed.
