Fibre=optic cable connector device - has sealing joints mounted end-to-end at open slot into which guide passage for fibre terminates

摘要

The The connector is for pairs of optical fibres (3,3') fitted with a ferrule (7), and contains a connection block (1) fitted with one inner channel (2) for each pair of fibres (3,3'). Near its opening to the outside, each channel (2) is widened so that it can contain a cylindrical hollow insulating gasket, close to the opening, followed by a cylindrical hollow insulating component. This insulating component contains a metallic sleeve fitted with elastic strips. The optical fibre's (3) ferrule (7) is fitted with a collar (9) used to position the fibre's (3) end inside the channel (2) by stopping the collar (9) against the channel's (2) edge at its narrowing place. This collar (9) also acts with the strips to lock the fibre (3) in position.
