DETACHABLE CONNECTOR FOR OPTICAL FIBRES

摘要

1 PHN. 9113 The connector for connecting optical fibres in accordance with the invention in principle comprises three portions which operate independently of each other: a. centring means for centring the fibre with respect to a housing in which the fibre has been inserted, b. a profiled edge on each housing for centring housings with respect to each other, c. fixing means for connecting two housings to each other, the edges being resilient with respect to the remaining part, so that reference faces of the connector can be pressed together by the springing back of the edges. It is not necessary anymore to align optical fibres after two connector portions have been connected, because each fibre is centred in its housing and two housings will centre each other. During placement on each other of the housing, the reference faces do not connect yet, so wear due to movement of the reference faces relative to each other will not occur.
