CONNECTION APPARATUS FOR OPTICAL FIBERS

摘要

CONNECTION APPARATUS FOR OPTICAL FIBERS An optical fiber connection apparatus includes a pair of mating connector halves each accommodating at least one optical fiber. A plug half is insertable into a receptacle half to provide optical connection between the fibers therein. The receptacle portion includes a movable cover supported thereon. The cover is movable from a first position covering the receptacle and thereby protecting the fiber therein to a second position opening the receptacle to allow for insertion of the plug. The cover is also movable to lock the plug into the receptacle.
