Optical connector having means for positioning tilted convex surface of ferrule

摘要

An optical fiber connector comprises a first tubular body having a passageway extending generally longitudinally therethrough for receiving an optical fiber, a first end for connection to an adaptor and being polished into a tilted convex surface, and a second end. A second tubular body has a passageway extending generally longitudinally therethrough in substantial coaxial alignment with the passageway of the first tubular body for receiving the second end of the first tubular body. A positioning device integral with the second tubular body is provided for positioning a tilt direction of the tilted convex surface of the first tubular body in a predetermined registered position when the first end of the first tubular body is connected to the adaptor.
